Sadly I still haven't read "Hugh and Bess," but this is the next book I have in my queue, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I feel like everything I have to review right now is historical fiction, so I was feeling a bit burned out, but you've reenergized me! .-= Jen - Devourer of Books´s last blog ..The Scarlet Lion – Book Review =-.

I have found myself really enjoying historical fiction now that I've taken more historically grounded classes in school. I find that now that I actually know more about the time period and the people, the reading is so much more enjoyable. This sounds like a really interesting and well-written book. I like that she didn't write the characters as good or evil but just people - people with motivations that drive them to sometimes do horrible things. I totally get that. .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Book Blogger Hop =-.

I've heard that Susan Higginbotham is one of the best at historical fiction. I don't read a lot of historical fiction, but I really do need to try one of her books. .-= bermudaonion (Kathy)´s last blog ..Wondrous Words Wednesday =-.

This sounds like it’d be fun to read w/ that nonfiction book about War of the Roses you reviewed awhile ago!

I don't know much about this period in history, so this sounds like a book that would definitely teach me some new things. I am glad to hear that the author has really done her research and that it shows through in her writing. I will be looking forward to reading this one. Thanks for your great review! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Life Sentences by Laura Lippman - 352 pgs =-.

It's always nice when writers do their research while writing historical fiction. I know it's not that important for many people, but having studied history in college, I can appreciate the hard work that much more. I haven't read any Susan Higginbotham novels, but looks like I should really look out for her in my library/book store. .-= Nishita´s last blog ..A River Sutra – Book Review =-.
