check out Sadie Jones, a friend put me on to her and I am lapping up her books - they are all concerned with quite different subjects, but they have that lightness of touch and convincing sense of historical time and place that TC does so well.

I'm sure you would enjoy Eyam by Geraldine Brooks, a fictionalised version of the events which took place in the Derbyshire village during the Plague.

And The Mysteries of Glass by Sue Gee is a lovely read. The story of a young curate in 1860 and who he falls in love with, and the problems that causes.

Have you read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon ? like Tracey Chevalier in that they give a great sense the way people lived back in history, but there's a bit of a supernatural element (time travel)
