I'm looking for a good historical fiction novel, any suggestions?
Q. Preferably in the medieval/ancient time period, because those periods fascinate me the most. If the book is thousands of pages long, or written in Shakespearean or equivalent writing style, then don't suggest it please.

A. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (really long though, so you don't have to read it if you think 912 is too much) When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman Time and Chance by Sharon Kay Penman Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman (really long, but it is a msterpiece!) Falls the Shadow by Sharon Kay Penman The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1) by Bernard Cornwell Dissolution by C. J. Sansom Knight with Armour by Alfred Duggan
