"I felt like Claudius was in the same room as me and we were having a good gossip about his family, Thats how good this book is, not only my favourite historical fiction but my favorite full stop."
"I am a huge Georgette Heyer fan, I wouldn't read this book first, its one of her later books so I would read some of the others first, but this is my favourite."
"Wonderful work about the Irish war of independence 1919-1921, told from the view of the Anglo-Irish. That almost forgotten tribe of increadiable eccentricity."
"Ok this strictly isnt historical fiction, but this is a list for people who love history.Trippy, hilarous, heartbreakingly sad, there are two more books in the series to read after this one, enjoy."
"If you are a christian, and find your religion gives you strength and peace of mind, don't read this book. If like me you find the Bible contradictory and confusing, Then read this book."
"The structure of this book is an homage (or outright theft) to the work of No.8 on my list. But I think the mystery Morse tackles is equally facsinting in a different way."
"I dislike all of Wilbur Smiths other books. But I love this one, a tale of love and power on the banks of the Nile. But don't read the following books, Taita turns into a totally differnet charatarr"
"No one does it like Babs, Lady of Hay is also a great read. I have to confess though, I usally skip the bits set in modern times and just read the medival stuff"
