I am going through a phase of reading a lot of historical fiction and I am currently reading Dissolution by CJ Samson.
I read The White Queen before it became a TV show in the UK, and was thrilled to see it on TV and done so well. It really brought the characters to life for me.
If you havent read the Luca Vero trilogy, it is absolutely amazing.

I picked up Paris by Edward Ruthfurd. This is suppose to be historical fiction. I heard great reviews from his other work. I want New York next if I like this novel.

From that book I can tell Gregory has a writing style that makes her long books easy to read.
I think it's interesting that she retells these historical stories.

- Latest Review: "You, in Your Green Shirt" by Barbara Monier
I love her historical fiction books. I think I have read them all except for the Wideacre series and they have been a really nice way to get some historical organization ingrained into my head but also with an interesting storyline. The White Queen and The Tudors were both really good TV adaptations, too.

She does put a lot of research into her books and her characters are very well developed

On the strength of this I went to the library, found some of her books and settled in for a marathon read. I am afraid I never got further than halfway into most of them because she irritated me by recapping what she had already written. It was like having a perpetual preview every time you started a new chapter. So, sorry, I read no more.
