Experience Life Before the Internet with these Great Reads
 
The internet has been our constant companion for decades, and let’s face it—who can picture life without it? But one thing we love about reading is its power to whisk us away to eras long before Wi-Fi and smartphones ruled the world. If you're up for a little trip to the past, check out these must-read books we’ve curated just for you!
 
 
The Glass Maker
Skipping like a stone through centuries, the story follows Orsola Rosso, the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers on Murano, who secretly taught herself to make glass beads to support her family’s fortune after her father's death. From that moment on, in every era, you'll witness how each Rosso woman ensures that their craft and bonds endure the test of time, from the height of the Renaissance to present-day Italy.
 
The Woman With The Cure
Back in 1940s and 50s America when Polio is as dreaded as the atomic bomb, Dr. Dorothy Horstmann wants nothing else but to find a cure. Coming from a humble immigrant family, she used her determination to hunt down the virus where it lurks: in the blood. Based on the true story of the woman who helped stop a pandemic, The Woman with the Cure is a powerful tale of sacrifice and how it can change lives—and the world.
The Great Divide
The Panama Canal is said to be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. The Great Divide revolves around the intersecting lives of the people who made it happen: activists, fishmongers, laborers, doctors, and more. This powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit reminds readers that society can achieve anything when working together.
 
Out of the Easy
Set in 1950s New Orleans, Josie Moraine is known as the daughter of a brothel prostitute. She wants more out of life than the Big Easy has to offer and has devised a plan to escape. But when a mysterious death occurs in the Quarter, Josie finds herself caught in a tangled web, challenging her loyalty to her mother and her conscience. From bestselling author Ruta Sepetys, Out of the Easy is a haunting reminder of how decisions can shape our destiny.
 
Miss Morgan's Book Brigade
When aspiring writer Wendy Peterson came across a passing reference in 1987 to Jessie Carson, an elusive librarian from 1918 who devoted her time to helping rebuild the destroyed French communities by creating a children's library and training French female librarians, she became consumed with learning her fate. Little did she know that their paths would converge in surprising ways across time. Miss Morgan's Book Brigade is a beautiful tribute to the power of literature and the courage it takes to make a change.
 
Banaag at Sikat
A love story framed within the context of a political tale and hailed as Asia's first proletariat novel, Banaag at Sikat follows Delfin, a poor socialist who falls in love with Meni, the daughter of a capitalist. Delfin believes that education is the key to improving society, while his friend Felipe, an anarchist, advocates for a world of equal opportunity where everything is limitless. The book beautifully captures the clash of forces during the American colonial period, highlighting themes of race, class, and colonialism.
