Where in Historical Fiction are you reading?
I have just started the latest book in the Elm Creek Series written by Jennifer Chiaverini. I am only about 100 pages in and there is currently no mention of Elm Creek! We are the period of history in the USA of President Lincoln and the book is ultimately about the relationship between President Lincoln's wife and her dressmaker.
So far it is a great read.
Where are you reading?
I am still going with Les Miserables, but I am hoping to finish it in the next few days!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I haven't attempted to read it yet, but I do want to!
DeleteI so wanted to take part in the readalong. I started the book and really struggled. I might see if the library has the audio book. Do you recommend it?
DeleteI'm in 1377 in England! Just inhaled a re-read of Avi's "Crispin: The Cross of Lead" and am well into the second in the series. I'm also reading Kostova's "The Historian" and loving that as well.
ReplyDeleteIn the desert AD 70 reading The Dovekeepers. It is described on the cover as a masterpiece, and I believe it will fulfill that description!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the Wild West, reading Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book! I have been working my way through the presidents wives biographies and this sort of read is my kind of book! I am glad to have found your blog and look forward to your posts.

ReplyDeleteI'm in America with Roots by Alex Haley.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. A great read. It was this that I recall seeing on the TV when I was about 10 or so. I later bought the book and it was probably the thing that started me off questioning and wondering about my ancestry.
DeleteI stumbled into this series late last year not realizing it was a series...no idea what order the one I read was but I really enjoyed it!
