I recently read Lionheart. Excellent of its kind. I don’t usually read historical fiction but she does capture the essence of a time and place and gives life to the historical characters.

"I don’t usually read historical fiction"

If you liked "Lionheart", you may also like "The Sunne In Splendour", which is a novelized biography of Richard III. Very good stuff.

I agree. It is excellent.

I read Penman's "Here Be Dragons" and "When Christ and His Saints Slept" years ago but "Lionheart" is my favorite.

Next I will read "The Sunne in Splendor".
