In case you might be interested, at the moment I am reading Katherine Swynford by Alison Weir.  The review by the Daily Telegraph says..Gripping..immaculately researched.
Su - got this from the library - and could not put it down ....!!!  Thanks for the recommendation!!

Must agree with all you chatters about "Katherine", it must be one of my favourite books.  Oddly enough, I had forgotten it when my daughter asked me for a list of my all time top 20 favourite reads.  (Now that is a tricky task!)

I have also discovered Elizabeth Chadwick in our local library and am enjoying her books very much.

Just wondering, did anyone else start historical fiction with Georgette Heyer?  I still love them.  My favourite was "An Infamous Army"

p.s. Is this admission akin to owning up to loving Abba???

Love Georgette Heyer novels!

"An Infamous Army" used to be an "A" level text book re: the Battle of Waterloo - bet you didn't know that!

"The Spanish Bride" is my all time favourite as it mirrors my gt gt gt grandfather, Stephen PALMER who fought at Badajoz, and who married a Portuguese girl, Maria DeSilva. 

I can see what I'll be reading next!
