Reader recommendation: The Warmth of Other Suns

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

There are many, many great book ideas for gifts, but do not forget Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns – history for anyone who loves beautiful writing and a long, untold history of the Great Migration. I venture that any history buff would be fascinated by this Pulitzer Prize-winning author and her thorough research and individual life stories.
