Dee asked:

I am just completing the 7 books Shardlake series by C J Sansom and looking for more Historical Fiction to devour. I love the depth of Sansom's writing and the historical acuracy. Is Mantel as good? I know nothing of her writing except what I have read here.

Brenda Hutcheson-Hinojosa Also look at Sharon Kaye Penman, great writer of historical fiction. Her series “The Welsh Princes”: Here Be Dragons, Falls The Shadow, The Reckoning, are some of my very favorite books. Another is Sunne In Splendor. All rate 5 stars, and believe me when I say I give very FEW books 5 stars, or even 4 starts.
Dee Thank you. I have just ordered Wolf Hall...looking forward to it.
Lisa Absolutely. Depending on how much you know. As Wolf Hall can be confusing if you don't know your Thomases from each other :) It is not light historical fiction it is the real deal wrapped in fiction.
