@douglaswelch The image is a screenshot of a webpage from "Five Books," a website that features book recommendations. The top section of the page includes the website's logo, "Five Books," with the tagline "The best books on everything." Below the logo, there are navigation tabs for various categories such as Nonfiction, Fiction & Literature, World, Kids, Best Books of 2024, New Books, Audiobooks, Book Awards, and Experts.
The main content area is divided into two sections. The left section is titled "Latest Interviews and Book Lists" and features an article titled "Historical Mystery Novels, recommended by Tuva Kahrs." The article discusses the appeal of historical mystery novels, mentioning examples from different eras, such as 1st century Rome, Victorian London, Tang dynasty China, and 20th century Bombay. The article is accompanied by a photo of a person in historical attire standing in front of a castle.
The right section is titled "New Book Recommendations" and includes three book covers. The first is "Peacemakers" by Margaret MacMillan, described as a winner of the 2002 Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction. The second is "Sparrow" by James Hynes, described as "gorgeous and engrossing." The third is "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher" by Kate Summerscale, also a winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction. Each book cover is accompanied by a brief description and a quote from a notable figure.
