[quote=""annis""]"Vizard Mask" is one of my favourite Restoration novels- DN really captures the times and the people. She certainly doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the reality of prison life or the bloody aftermath of Monmouth's failed rebellion.[/quote]
Now you've piqued my interest! I haven't read any of Diana Norman's novels, but I keep hearing good things. And the Restoration is one of those overlooked periods that I've noticed.
Now reading The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British by Sarah Lyall

That one crossed my path at Amazon UK and peaked my interest. A bit spendy though for a used book. I might try for an ILL and see what happens. They've been surprising the bloody h*** out of me where my ILL's have been coming from. Anchorage, Omaha, New Hampshire, Oklahoma (I'm in Seattle).

[quote=""Tanzanite""]I started Gildenford by Valerie Anand today at lunch.[/quote]
Do you have the other two in the series? I have them but I needed to put some space between Harold the King before I got into that period again. I read Gildenford and Harold too close to each other. Way too much dejavu/been there done that.
