They do sound good. I've read a couple of her Pauline Bentley books- lively stuff, a bit in the Forever Amber tradition - about an English family of travelling players. The first one, Rogues & Players, is set in the Elizabethan period, the second, Fallen Angels during the Civil War .Here's some info, Madeleine. She writes historical fiction under the name of Pauline Bentley, too.
