I just finished A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. It's YA historical fiction and it's set around the case that led to An American Tragedy by Theordore Dreiser. A young man drowned his pregnant girlfriend in 1906 because he had his eye on another girl who would give him wealth and status.

It was very good- and even though it's young adult fic I think adults who appreciate good historical fiction would like it.

Downstairs: The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England




Is this a novel or a history book? I love reading historical novels, especially on this topic.

Right now, I am finishing "I, Elizabeth".

Just finished Bee Season - It started off really great, then I think the plot just started getting a little convoluted. Just watched the movie and I think the movie was better than the book.Chat Icon

I'm also trying to finish a biography of Marie Antoinette that I started over a year ago - I want to finish it before the Sofia Coppola film about her comes out - but I'm going so slowly!

It was a really good book. I had just read the Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory and it was interesting to see the differences in the ways that the authors speak about Anne and Mary Boleyn. Gregory makes Anne a villian and Plaidy shows her in a more sympathic light and makes Mary seem like a slut.
