So you read and enjoy Historical Fiction? Good, thats me too!
I will try just about any Historical Fiction author at least once and a select few I go back to for more.
My most recent discovery is someone who has been around a while and is rather a big name in Historical Fiction, Philippa Gregory.
I tend to avoid main stream authors sense my taste often differs from most but I found great enjoyment in Philippa's book The Constant Princess. It was a well researched and presented novel that I enjoyed quite well. It follows the story of Cathrine of Aragon the first wife of Henry VIII of England. You don't have to know a lot about Tudor England to enjoy this book, but I found knowing the outcome did not spoil the story at all.
Many of Philippa's books follow some tale or other set in Tudor England. So if Tudor England, (Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, etc..) is a period that interests you this is an author you want to check out. Next on my list is her novel The Queen's Fool. I expect it will be a good read!
Happy Reading!
