Re: Historical Fiction
I'd recommend Alison Weir - my favorite of hers are Innocent Traitor and The Lady Elizabeth. The first made me cry , the ending is so sad. But they're both great novels.

Re: Historical Fiction
No, Weaver, not the Abenaki either.
It will all make sense, though... finally after 300 years. Just give it a read, and then please share your impressions here. And if you have any questions, ask me. Happy New Year!

Suzy, Promise me you're not blaming the Abenaki Indians (as did author at Cornell) for the Salem hysteria & then I will read it.

Re: Historical Fiction
I love historical fiction - and I'm always looking for a new read. Suzy, I'll check out your book. I also just finished an interesting book I found by accident on Kindle called Crystals of Yukitake. It's a historical fantasy type novel and was very well written.
