There were several books that I wanted to nominate but had trouble finding them in multiple countries. I like Rose Tremain and her book The Colour about the gold rush in 1860s New Zealand sounded very good.
Another book that looked fun was Dark Matter: The Private Life of Sir Isaac Newton by Philip Kerr. Lots of secret conspiracies and Sir Isaac Newton is a detective.
The Silver Donkey by Sonya Hartnett about a lost English soldier found by French children during WWI is an award-winning children's novel that looks charming and has beautiful illustrations.
