The Last Days of Night

Great balls of electricity! It's the gripping tale of Westinghouse, Edison, Tesla, industrial espionage, AC vs DC, the humble lightbulb, and the litigation that bound them all together. It's a novelization of actual events and very well told. Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the author used actual events and wove them together with some conjecture into a compelling storyline. I did not know the history of this time period or these inventors, and enjoyed learning about them. I appreciate the detailed description at the end by the author of what was real, what was moved around in time, and what was conjecture. This is our book club pick for March, and I'm excited to discuss it!
