It brings to life one corner of India's vast history, and the interractions of the rulers and the ruled, native and foreign.

An imposing character who has been explored pretty thoroughly these past few years in film and print, Elizabeth I meets her match in the feisty, quick-witted Irish pirate Grace O'Malley. This incredible story needed telling, as Maxwell does with her customary panache. This kind of meeting has few ...             Pope Joan: A Novel283 reviews Donna Cross Ballantine Books, 1996 Excellent Historical Fiction + WOW! When this novel was released, there was some minor brouhaha about how it's "untrue", "there was never a female pope", "the author is taking liberties", etc. The kind of controversy that sprang up when "The Da Vinci Code" was released, though nowhere near that level. All of which drew me to the ...             Silent In The Grave103 reviews Deanna Raybourn Mira, 2007 Wonderful Debut novel....... + Angieville: SILENT IN THE GRAVE I became acquainted with both this author and her debut novel when I saw that it won the RITA award at the RWA conference last summer in San Francisco, for Best Novel with Strong Romantic Elements. Since my reading leans much more toward contemporary women's fiction, I wasn't sure if I'd like it. ...             The Heretic Queen: A Novel26 reviews Michelle Moran Crown, 2008 I wish there were six stars! + Recommended to anyone interested in historical novels + Nefertari's story comes to life + My Favorite + Truly Fascinating!             The Feast of Roses: A Novel33 reviews Indu Sundaresan Washington Square Press, 2004 great book...excellent seller + More of a general review on her 3 books + Tami Abdullah + Seductive and intelligent             The Spymaster's Lady (The Spymaster Series)54 reviews Joanna Bourne Berkley, 2008 This book is amazing. It surprises and delights me. + One of my favorite books Annique is French and works as a spy for the French. Robert Grey is the British head of spies. Leblanc is French military and has captured them both and put them in the same dungeon. I don't want to say any more about the plot because much of the fun was in the surprises. Readers will enjoy ...             The Red Tent: A Novel1437 reviews Anita Diamant Picador, 2007 Literary Bread and Water- Will Make You Feel Alive + A must read. + The Red Tent + wonderfully engrossing + Pagan women in an early Jewish world             The Splendor of Silence: A Novel14 reviews Indu Sundaresan Atria, 2006 A GREAT READ + The Splendor of Silence I highly recommend this book. It is a book that returns to the present occasionally, but not so quickly that you get lost. I TOTALLY loved this book and the characters were so alive. i can only add that I am an avid reader and I would never give a book high ratings, if it did not deserve them. ...             Queenmaker: A Novel of King David's Queen75 reviews India Edghill Picador, 2002 SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED "THE KINGMAKER" + Very good read + Another Compelling Page Turner---Different Take on Familiar Biblical Stories With an abundance of historical and biblical fact, a bit of speculation and a dash of supposition, India Edghill has created an exciting and admirable character in Michal, daughter of Saul (Israel's first King) and first wife of David. We are introduced to Michal first as the naïve farmer's ...             Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle (Boudica Quadrilogy (Paperback)) (Boudica Trilogy)23 reviews Manda Scott Spectra, 2004 Beautifully written, credible and compelling ... + Excellent Start to a Wonderful Series + Great Book While sub-titled "A Novel of Boudica, the Warrior Queen," this book is as much about her brother, Bán. In fact, Breaca nic Graine doesn't become Boudica (She Who Brings Victory) until the final chapters. The book - the first in a quartet - covers the early years of her life from about age 12 to 23 ...             And Only to Deceive64 reviews Tasha Alexander William Morrow, 2005 My New Favorite Author + Fun, witty, and altogether charming! + Victorian Romp + Enjoyable             A Poisoned Season37 reviews Tasha Alexander Harper Paperbacks, 2008 A Modern Classical Lady Detective + A Poisoned Season + Tasha's Poisoned Season + Sparkling Series with a Smart Heroine + Fun read             Labyrinth174 reviews Kate Mosse Putnam Adult, 2006 Couldn't put it down! + Engrossing historical thriller + Not bad for historical fiction This book was a very good read, I couldn't put it down.
