Same author, but "The Other Boleyn Girl" is another great work of historical fiction - especially for people interested in Tudor history. You should definitely check it out if you haven't already.FastReader wrote:I have been enjoying her books for years. I am fascinated by the Tudor period. Can anyone recommend another author who writes historical fiction about that topic?

I think Philippa would make many fans happy if she provided an online link of how her characters are connected. I drew myself a chart using 4 books and that was a bit convoluted. It would make me read more though if I had a reference to help keep them organized in my head. Personally I like paper so a download option would be fantastic, Phillpa, if you're listening!

I'm glad to find some more author referrals for Tudor-Era historical fiction - this is one of my favorite things to read, but I haven't been able to look for more books lately (READ: I haven't made the time to read more in favor of other life priorities). Now that I'm making more time to read, I would love to get through more Tudor books!Fran wrote: ↑25 Sep 2012, 13:24Have you read Hilary Mantel? ... Wolf Hall & Bring Up the Bodies are superb on Henry Viii & his relationship with Thomas Cromwell both are 5* reads IMO. You should definitely consider C J Sansom ... he has a brilliant series The Shardlake Series, set in the period of Henry Viii & follows the adventures of a hunchback lawyer Matthew Shardlake who works in the first books on commission for Thos Cromwell, subsequently for Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and in the last book for Queen Catherine Parr in Heartstone. Absolutely brilliant series, Sansom has a real ability to bring the period to life and his character moves seamlessly between the lives of the ordinary people, clerks & servants and the lives of courtiers and royalty. You can practically smell the streets in his booksFastReader wrote:I have been enjoying her books for years. I am fascinated by the Tudor period.
