Alison Weir recommends

Sinners (2025)
Elizabeth Fremantle
"I was spellbound by this wonderful book and had to neglect everything else to finish it. Truly, it's one of the best historical novels I have read in a long time. Elizabeth Fremantle evokes so beautifully and convincingly the Italy of the late sixteenth century; her characters are compellingly drawn and her prose is magnificent. I cannot recommend this novel highly enough."

Fallen Angel (2020)
(Frances Gorges Historical Trilogy, book 3)
Tracy Borman
"Dark intrigues, a poignant love story...a shattering and shocking climax."
