historical journeys
This month we take a look at historical fiction and non-fiction. Historical novels such as The Fourth Queen by Debbie Taylor and Time and Chance by Sharon Penman are perfect for readers’ groups, with scope for discussions on many levels. Helen Dunmore's The Siege is a powerful depiction of life in Leningrad during the war. Claire Tomalin’s Whitbread Prize winner Samuel Pepys and Antony Beevor’s magnificent Berlin are our non-fiction choices for this month..
