We were very pleased to be invited to the unveiling of Mary Finch’s second adventure last night and had a delightful evening.
The last historical dramas I read were the Neal Stephenson Baroque Cycle trilogy – I’m not 100% sure that they can be called historical dramas. I’m normally not a fan of period fiction, however, I enjoyed The Blackstone Key enormously, maybe because it’s not exactly a historical drama either – more an adventure in a historical setting. Rose Melikan, the author, is a historian and the details in the story are historically correct.
It was only published yesterday, and I haven’t read it yet, but if it’s at all like the Blackstone Key, I can recommend it, both for yourself and as a present.
