Great story
This book was very good and I would recommend it to anyone looking to a young adult fiction book that was very realistic to the families who live like the ones in the book.

"Specifically his book The Clown, which is kind of like a German Catcher in the Rye and was published in the 60s. It’s an essential read and one of the my all-time favourite fiction books."

This fascinating little novel is a speculative fiction study about fitting in vs. being different, that's witty, surreal and thought provoking. Read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/06/02/in-his-own-space/

"A brilliant take on politics through historical fiction about Thomas Cromwell in the time of Henry VIII. And it explores what it means to live by a code when you are at political and personal risk."

Is there anything better than a book about books? :D Very handy little book, especially if you're a novice to the historical fiction genre and aren't quite sure where you'd like to travel next. How the author categorized books was very helpful and inventive too. Altogether it may not be the most comprehensive guide to historical fiction, but it's a darned good place to start your journey in the field or just to decide what's next. Is it weird that I read it cover to cover? ;P
