Ebook, real, whatever.

The last three I've read have been 'a thousand splendid suns', 'the kite runner', and 'white dog feel from the sky'. Basically, all (recent) historical fiction, all brilliant.

Any recommendation for the next? Literally no clue where to start.

TIA Smile

I have literally just finished the innocent traitor by Alison weir. It is about lady Jane grey and it was very good indeed. Also if you like the Tudors/plantagenants the sunne in the splendor is also very good

Summertime by Vanessa Lafaye was good. Set in 1930s Florida Keys at the time of the biggest hurricane storm ever to hit mainland America. I thought it brilliantly evocative of that era.
