Just finished 'Mary of Carisbrooke' by Margaret Campbell Barnes which I really enjoyed, it's made me want to seek out the rest of her novels now. About to begin 'The Poisoned Crown' by Maurice Druon who is a new author to me, my mum picked this paperback up in Cape Town and it's been on my shelf for years. So, here goes! I've also got 'Yankee Stranger' by Elswyth Thane on my TBR shelf but would I need to read 'Dawn's Early Light' first to make sense of it?
I just read Dawn's Early Light last month and just started Yankee Stranger yesterday..... so far I would say that, no, you don't have to read DEL first to understand what's going on in YS. YS starts about 80 years after the end of DEL, so there's only one character who carries over. Reading DEL would help you appreciate her more, and I recommend DEL just because I enjoyed it so much.
