Welcome, Emily!
I have just traveled to Regency England with Sprig Muslin by Gerogette Heyer. England is a country with such rich history, I will probably visit it again in another time period.

Just finshed The Poisonwood Bible and it was a wonderful choice for Zaire (Belgian Congo). It gave such wonderful cultural and historial facts, the grace and the horror came alive.
