Give me a recommendation for a great Historical Fiction book.
@matt
- Pillars of the Earth (skip the other four books in the series)
- A Gentleman in Moscow (!)
- Bernard Cornwell’s Arthur trilogy
- Bernard Cornwell’s The Saxon Chronicles series
@gdp I’ve read Pillars of the Earth. And all the others in the Series (many others by Follett too). I’ve also read Gentlemen in Moscow (enjoyed the series too) as well as the others by Towles.
I have never read Cornwell though. Where should I start?
@matt The Saxon Chronicles is the basis for the excellent The Last Kingdom series on Netflix. The Warlord Chronicles tell the story of Arthur but use real people. Oddly, Arthur is almost a minor character, which can be frustrating at times. The real main character is Derfel Cadarn, who was a real warrior in the 5th century.
@gdp To Libby I go.
