This sounds interesting. I also was considering her Nefertiti. I have a feeling I won't be picking one up unless my book club chooses it, though.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339046013754121975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-78432475741779110842011-03-24T16:04:08.961-04:002011-03-24T16:04:08.961-04:00I love historical fiction for much the same reason...I love historical fiction for much the same reason that you thought you didn't. I did not like history class in HS. It was dry and boring and completely unconnected to my life. But good historical fiction brings history to life in a way that is interesting. I've learned more about history from historical fiction than I ever did from history class. Which is why I say "good" historical fiction. It's important to know where the history ends and the fiction begins.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589606390781637262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-71488201557764285812011-03-24T06:59:57.175-04:002011-03-24T06:59:57.175-04:00I'm so happy your group enjoyed this one.
