That's the danger of reading historical fiction about a time period one knows nothing about--it's impossible to judge how accurate the author's take is. Falcones's book is still an entertaining read. It reminded me greatly of The Count of Monte Cristo. <br /><br />BTW, I added another book to the list after you commented! Can't believe I forgot it first time around, I loved it so much!Julianne Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190332417986785920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873652322915407206.post-72794876929086116272012-12-27T23:37:57.110-08:002012-12-27T23:37:57.110-08:00Great list here with many good ideas --- though I ...Great list here with many good ideas --- though I will admit I could not finish the Falcones because the history was SO BAD.
