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"



Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
