With the sun out (finally) in England my thoughts have turned to spring and summer.
If you were off to a remote island for a few weeks in the sun and could only take ONE piece of historical fiction with you what would you take?
I would take the very first book in the Outlander series, so that I can familiarise myself with the series ready for the pending release of the next installment.
Over to you.....
I would take the Book Thief as it is in WW2 and I am in love with it!!!!
ReplyDeleteRight now I think I would take Sunne in Splendor because I like Penman and I'm curious about Richard, with the recent discovery of remains. Th e other alternative is Gone with the Wind, which I still haven't read :-(
ReplyDeleteOutlander is a good pick as well and I loved the Book Thief, but if its anything like the first time that I read it, I would wash off the sunscreen with my tears!
All good suggestions so far.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I would take Wolf Hall as I would be forced to read it and finish it if it was the only thing available to me!
