I have read a lot of Greek/Roman historical fictions over the years, including Kate Quinn and Francine Rivers. I am always taken aback at just how debauched society was then, especially for women who had to earn their living that way, and don't love dwelling it. Hence, my thankfulness comment about this day and age. But I agree, they are meaty and substantial - despite the dreadful covers! And I suspect a reasonable portrayal of each life and times.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235980969755979085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416089578031996468.post-50257806994833883782015-08-21T15:06:05.760+09:302015-08-21T15:06:05.760+09:30I read The Tiger Queens earlier this year and love...I read The Tiger Queens earlier this year and loved it! I avoided Thornton for a while because the covers made the books look a bit soapie or something, so I was surprised to discover how substantial the themes are. One of the things I love about historical fiction is discovering a new world and culture, and Thornton does that so well! Thanks for the recommendation of the others - I think now I'll look those up as well.Tamiehttp://meetjesusatuni.comnoreply@blogger.com
