Ah….. I have this to read for RBRT! I am massively put off by modern expressions in historical fiction, and adore historical description – I read histfic because I love to immerse myself in the time period. And I’m not to keen on books that are dialogue-based. Ouch, ha ha! We will see 🙂

You’ll like this Terry, and the modern expressions weren’t many. I spent a lot of time with etymology on line with my current book, making sure the words were appropriate to the 17th century!

Interesting comment on not enough detail for you. I must read it to see whether I give you more!

It’s medieval English history, Jemima, so you should like it – a remarkable woman.

Such a thoughtful review. It does sound like an intriguing book. I’m a fan of historical fiction, though admit to having favorite eras that attract me.

Thanks, MC! If you are attracted to medieval England, this should appeal. I am going to read her other books.

There are endless stories to weave from history and our royals, Noelle, and I always enjoy a good one. Glad your own novel is coming to fruition and many thanks for dropping in on me. 🙂 🙂

Thanks, Jo, and you’re welcome. I wish I could drop in on everyone every day! My own tome is undergoing lots of revisions. It’s with beta readers now. I just need an agent!

I haven’t read much historical fiction, Noelle. It always sounds fascinating, and I can imagine being curious about where the history ends and the fiction starts. Plus all the research! Great review and your comments about the dialog are intriguing. Thanks for the recommendation.
