Angela's Favourite Historical Novels

I have loved history and historical fiction since I can remember, so here are some of the books that I have read over the past (many) years.
I haven't included classics, but have tried to limit the list to novels that were written as historical novels at the time they were penned.
I hope you enjoy my list and find some to add to your own shelves!
