I realize this is Irish list but... looking at the book listing let me just say that any of Rutherfurd's books are great historical fiction. If you are in to English history Old Sarum --Salisbury, and London are equally as great. Douglas Burnett Satellite Beach FL In a message dated 6/4/2013 3:02:10 A.M.
