Hey guys,

We are covering 1500's europe in history this month and I was hoping to find some good historical fiction that takes place in this era(I always learn more from fiction than text books, as backwards as that may be :wink: ). Anyway, I was wondering if any of you knew of a good book that you would recommend?

Please and thank you!

Don't know about the 1500's, but if you're ever looking for a good WW2 era historical fiction book, then read The Book Theif by Marcus Zusak.

Right now I'm reading A String in the Harp, which deals with sixth-century and modern Wales.

You can try Hillary Mantel's "Wolf Hall"
