Book Rating

This is a well-written historical fiction novel about one of my favorite time periods, the 18th century. The characters were memorable, and I intend upon reading more by the author.

Morgan Neville recommended The Death Of Stalin (2017) in Movies (curated)

"Writer/Director Armando Iannucci can do no wrong in my book. I love his subject matter (power) and his humor (as black as it comes). This is my kind of historical fiction."

Sarah Waters recommended Wideacre (The Wideacre Trilogy, #1) in Books (curated)

"A sensational novel in all sorts of ways, this study of gender, history and power was one of the books that made me want to start writing historical fiction of my own."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey in Books

Oct 5, 2020

This new historical fiction book is also biographical fiction, and it might appeal to lovers of historical fantasy, because of the paranormal elements included. "Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey" tells the story of a soldier in WWI and the homing pigeon that helped rescue his battalion. I hope you'll take a look at my #bookreview of this beautifully written novel by Kathleen Rooney on my blog now.

Does anyone have a favourite genre for historical fiction? I do like the elegance of the Regency, but the further back in history you go, the less is know and the more there is for an author to fill in, so medieval is quite a feature of my bookshelves. I also like a good historical mystery.

I really get on my high horse about it at times. I don’t mind if authors acknowledge it, and say that it is not quite right, but it didn’t work as a story, but I get a little upset when they try to pass it off as fact ;)
