In a trawling campaign I conducted through a second-hand book dealer, I found the joy of Sharon Kaypenman's early medieval English and Welsh historical novels. For medieval history lovers, this is a must.
She brings a style of elegance to her work that rarely matches and attracts readers into the world she presents.
In her medieval history, her ideas and concepts were so acute that any preconceptions about certain characters and events would be abandoned because we would be more accustomed to what was presented... Allow us, readers, to discover a whole new perspective.
Another key factor in Sharon Kay Penman's book is that she can not only humanize people who have long since disappeared, but to make them active by interweaving beautiful spiritual stories in the political expediency - men and women who love them. , betrayal, dynasty imperative and ruthless hatred - but never at the expense of the authenticity of history... the best realist novel.
These qualities make her novels the best historical fiction books of the day... very satisfying for bookworms like me.
The love between: Richard 111 and Anne Neville; Llewellyn the Great and Joanna; Henry 11 and Aquitaine Eleanor; and others clearly tell the dramatic sensitivity of the larger world in which they live and Minor differences.
As a master of storytelling, Penman weaves these spells on our readers, making it difficult to return to the 21st century from the 13th century, thus creating illustrations and dramatic re-creation. Anyone who likes historical fiction books will find that adding her work to your must-read list is not wasted.
Engross may be the best vocabulary about her books. They are some of the best books.
Bright sunshine from
[1982]
This historical novel vividly tells the story of Richard 111 - the last England king of England - and the author's balanced and objective views make this a delightful reading - about the king whose history is often smashed.
This is the dragon from
[1985]
The story of King John, his daughter Joanna and the Welsh Emperor Llewellyn and the events of their lives - as well as the struggle to revive Independence Wales. The love story of Llewellyn and Joanna will tear your heartstrings. But don't be wrong, it's not just a romantic romantic yarn - it's an exciting story about a major event.
Falling shadow from
[1988]
The author shows the tapestry around the events of the son of John King - Henry 111 - and the conflict with Simon De Montfort. The novel is imaginative, full of conspiracy, lost hope and broken dreams, attracting us, and never betraying strict adherence to details and facts.
This trilogy is the place to start and discover Penman - the journey through these best-selling books is well worth the time and the time you want to continue.
Liquidation from
[year 1991]
Follow Henry 111 and introduce his sons Edward 1 and Llewellyn ap Gruffydd. This is another Llewellyn attempt to build a free Welsh, this time against the ruthless Edward [called Longshanks] - this is the nemesis of Braveheart
When Christ and his angel fell asleep from
[the year 1995]
Back to the time before John John - the civil strife caused by the conflict between King Stephen and Empress Maud - both plaintiffs are the throne of the confessor. It also introduces Henry 11 and Aquitaine's Eleanor-Henry inherited something that his mother Maud could not win. This is England that was torn by Maud and Stephen's wishes.
Time and opportunity from
[year 2002]
The sequel to Christ and his angels when they fell asleep, narrating Henry XI and Aquitaine's Eleanor and the hosted event - the magnificent but stormy love story of Henry's rise; she and France Louis's first marriage; she then joined Henry; Thomas Beckett murder.
Devil's lair from
Released in October 2008
Just an update: It's now February 2010, and Sharon is busy with the next novel about Plantagenets "Lionheart" - it's in the middle of the year [hopefully].
