Day 11 #AdventRecommends
I love 💕 Barbara Erskine‘s books, and especially these three chunksters. Would most probably make my top 10 books. Hard to choose between these but my overall favourite would be Child of the Phoenix. Just! Good medieval history in these and if you enjoyed The Welsh Princes Trilogy by Sharon Penman I would recommend the tagged book as it has a crossover of a character, but a different viewpoint of the character.

TrishB I think Lady of Hay will always be my fav. But do love all her books 💕 6y
Andrew65 @TrishB Definitely tough competition with these 3. 6y
TrishB Definitely! And a lovely lady too with all her fans on fb. 6y

LeahBergen I haven‘t read one of her books in years. I really should get to one soon! Lady of Hay is an old fave of mine, too @TrishB 😄 6y
Melissa_J I like Child of the Phoenix best 😊 @LeahBergen @TrishB 6y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J Starting to feel sorry for Kingdom of Shadows, no one chose it!i love the sections set in Berwick upon Tweed, one of my favourite towns, in that book. @LeahBergen @TrishB (edited) 6y

#Rocktober #YouOughtaKnow I love Barbara Erskine's books, but especially her big 3 historical novels - although I would struggle to pick a favourite one out of these three but they would all appear in my top 20 novels. Love historical fiction? Then read Barbara Erskine! You won't be sorry!

Andrew65 @Cinfhen Lol! We can set up a support network. We could call ourselves Cinfhen's Crazy Club. 😂 7y
TrishB @Cinfhen these are awesome 😀👍 Still love Lady of Hay so much. 7y

A mere 944 pages long, but what a great book! If you love medieval historical fiction read this book! #chunkster

Melissa_J One of my all-time faves! 8y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J Me too, I also love her other two long ones from this period - The Lady of Hay, and The Kingdom of Shadows. I also liked the fact that Barbara Erskine has a historical connection to one of the characters in The Child of the Phoenix. 8y
