Help find me book to keep my interest!!

[val4]

I suffer from Chronic Pain , and while usually being an avid reader, during a flare up I find it very hard to focus/keep interest in a book. Please can you recommend an ebook that will grab my attention at moment, as have started and erased 3 books from my kindle over last 2 days. I like Lucinda Reilly, Rosie Thomas, Kate Horton , Susanna Kearsley etc. I usually like books set in past, family sagas, mystery drama type. I really am at wits end , searching through Amazon ready to download but can find nothing that grabs me. Am on lots pain meds at moment as experiencing flare up , so concentration not too good but have time on my hands( for change!). Please, please help!!!

Would short stories work better?
Try anything by Alice Munro or Book of Spells by Sara Maitland.
I hope you feel better soon, I know the relief when I can finally read properly again after being ill.

Thank you MrsCakes for your suggestion . I generally like longer stories, in which I can immerse myself in another world,and that I look forward to getting back to!

Have you tried Helen Forresters' books about growing up in Liverpool? Quite involving and more than one book to dive into

I've recently read the first two novels in S J Parris's Giordano Bruno series - Heresy and Prophecy. Have got Sacrilege to read soon, and have just bought Treachery, the latest in paperback. I love them.

They are set in Elizabethan England, are spy/murder stories. The first one, Heresy, begins with Bruno's back story - ex monk etc, now working as a spy for Sir Francis Walsingham. I think they are gripping and exciting stories.
