[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody comes close to Dorothy Dunnett. Her books are dense, but you'll lose yourself in them entirely. And they'll keep you going a long time![/quote] +1. And +1 to the Aubrey-Maturin series, too. Dunnett and O'Brian are my two favorites, [i]very[/i] different from each other, but absolutely top of the list for historical fiction written in the 20th century. Another suggestion: if you've never read The Three Musketeers, it's WONDERFUL. 19th-c. historical fiction about the 17th c. It's a great romp. Dumas is a good choice for fans of Dunnett and vice-versa. [/quote] +2 for Dorothy Dunnet and Dumas. Also highly recommend Aubrey-Maturin and Hornblower for age of sail and Georgette Heyer for same area female perspective. The Scarlet Pimpernel and Captain Blood for less historically accuracy and more swashbuckling.[/quote]
