Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I totally agree with this! The more starkly different from my life, the better the book!

Hi SuzyQ. Are you a theology grad? I was at Drew in Madison (just outside of Morristown). Welcome aboard!

Hi Suzy, and a warm welcome to HFO!

If you want a Roman Britain fix, you could try Boat of Fate by Keith Roberts. It's the only HF novel written by a SF author. It's one of the best HF books I've ever read.

There's an excellent series set on Hadrian's Wall too, by Anthony Riches. The first one is Wounds of Honour.

Thanks for the recs, Ben!

Wendy, I'm also a theology grad! I just graduated this past May from Alliance in Nyack with an M.Div. I loved all the spiritual and academic reading, but I'm really looking forward to having the time to enjoy some fiction again.
