I also have a few more suggestions but some may have been published a little earlier than in the last five years. THE TEMPLE DANCER by John Speed, set in 16th century India; also the Yashim the eunuch mysteries by Jason Goodwin and the Kamil Pasha mysteries by Jenny White. And on and on. . . . any of Pauline Gedge's books about Egypt are wonderful--especially LADY OF THE REEDS. I'm looking forward to reading many of these, and will share the list with my historical novel reader friends.

Thank you for including SHADOW ...What a great list! Thank you for including SHADOW ON THE CROWN, and my fingers are crossed that the 11th century becomes a 'not unusual' setting! To add to your list: SHIELDWALL, by Justin Hill (11th c and reads like a saga), Helen Hollick's book about Emma, THE FOREVER QUEEN (and she has others leading up to 1066); Nicola Griffith's HILD, about 7th century St. Hilda of Whitby is due out in November, and Nicola's being compared to H.Mantel and S.Undset! Well, you can see what era I've been wandering about in....

I recently read Ann Chamberlin's "Sword of God," a continuation of the story that started with "Woman at the Well," and "A House Near Luccoli" by D.M. Denton, featuring a little-known Baroche composer in Genoa. Both would fit unusual settings and unusual protagonists.Kim Rendfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378677990343067015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14783285.post-13828608589595806742013-06-27T17:48:27.840-07:002013-06-27T17:48:27.840-07:00Oh, I loved Pope Joan!
