I don’t want to compile a list of all authors who write/wrote historical fiction – just those I have read and those I feel I ought to read.
I haven’t actually read a lot of historical fiction. These are the authors I remember having read:
- Sue Barnard
- Tracy Chevalier
- Vanessa Couchman
- Philippa Gregory
- Carol Hedges
- Gill James
- Nancy Jardine
- Pamela Melnikoff
- David Rory O’Neill
- D. B. Schaefer
- Rosemary Sutcliff (It’s not her fault that her book put me off ancient history for decades!)
Which other authors should I read now? Any recommendations?
