«L'historienne et Drakula» is the mystery and vampire novel by Elizabeth Kostova, published by XO Editions in paperback (492 pages, in French).
A young woman finds in her father's study an old, almost blank book in which only the word «Drakula» appears. That discovery leads her to investigate the legend of Voivode Vlad of Wallachia, the vampire of the Carpathians, in a quest her father also undertook in the past. The narrative interweaves that search with the suspense of a historical figure who seems to keep lurking, as father and daughter delve into the archives and landscapes of Eastern Europe.
First part of the diptych «L'Historienne et Drakula»; French translation by Évelyne Jouve from the original English by Elizabeth Kostova, «The Historian: Part One of Two».
For readers of historical novels with elements of horror and mystery who enjoy vampire legends and documentary research plots.
Elizabeth Johnson Kostova is an American author best known for her debut novel The Historian.
