Historical fiction on my bookshelf:
High Are the Mountains (The Tarn Trilogy 1) by Hannah Closs - Opening novel of Hannah Closs's acclaimed trilogy set in the golden years of the Love court in 13th century southern France. Romance, battle; historical fiction of unassailable merit. Deep Are the Valleys (The Tarn Trilogy 2) by Hannah Closs - Great historical novel set in 13th century France. Ravaged by northern invaders, its fabled court of love fallen to the forces of hate, its citizenry suffering, its leaders dead or being hunted down. One young warrior, the Wolf of Foix, vows revenge! The Silent Tarn (The Tarn Trilogy 3) by Hannah Closs - Wonderfully written historical novel about battle in 13th-century southern France. Book 3 in the 3 book series; the climatic novel of Hannah Closs's acclaimed trilogy. The Dice in Flight by Martyn Whittock - Set in England in the period between 1377-1381, this is the story of two families bound together by love, business considerations and treachery. The Starres are wealthy silk merchants and the Mentmores are cloth merchants with aspirations to gentility and connections at Court.
The Eagle's Daughter by Judith Tarr - Here in lush detail is the powerful story of the tenth-century Byzantine princess Theophano, who was sent to be the wife and Empress of Otto II, son of Otto the Great, the Holy Roman Emperor.
A Vision of Light by Judith Merkle Riley - A Vision... of 14th century England - a time of crude country villages, brawling towns, and splendid cities teeming with untold riched and strange wonders. A Vision... of demons and angels, simpletons, holy flagellants, and fools... of traveling players, corrupt priests, and merchant princes, of brave knights and pale ladies languishing for love. A Vision... of one beautiful, unforgettable woman--Margaret of Ashbury. Twice bound in marriage, fated to be beaten, betrayed, taught rare arts of love and healing, and tried as a witch, she traversed a world overflowing with bitter sorrow and bawdy laughter to find a haven of love, safety and triumphant joy at last in... A Vision of Light. Last Edited on: 7/4/07 6:44 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Marci, Let us know what he thinks of The Whitechapel Conspiracy, pretty please! I've looked at that series many times, but haven't ordered one. I feel like I have too many books to begin a new series right now. If anyone else wants it, there is still a paperback copy available. |

Valli - I love Anne Perry's Thomas & Charlotte Pitt series (of which The Whitechapel Conspiracy is a part). I think the first in the series The Cater Street Hangman is FABULOUS! There's something like 20 books in that series now - and I still enjoy them, but the earlier books are better. I adore Charlotte and Thomas and their friends. It is best to read them in order b/c relationships develop amongst the recurring characters. I have only read the first couple in her Monk series - but I'll get around to the rest of them in due time. |

Well, I'm sold Marci and Marci! I just requested the first book. So, there are two different series, right? Charlotte and Thomas, and Monk? |

Actually, she has three series, two set in Victorian England (but at different times in the period - I believe the Pitt books are set around the 1880s and Monk is around 1850s, but I could have that reversed) and one during WWI. I haven't read any of her WWI series - yet. I have heard mixed reviews on them. She's also got some fantasy novel(s) as well. Her website - www.anneperry.net (make sure you type .net not .com; the .com redirects to a rather disturbingly graphic website) has a listing of all the books and the order they should be read in. The Pitt books have a couple "side stories" featuring Aunt Vespasia which are fun reads. If you like The Cater Street Hangman, A&E did a movie/miniseries some years back. Reminds me I must check to see if it's available on Netflix. :) |
