Free/Bargain Historical Fiction in March 2014
Well, I've got a couple of big files downloading now so I thought that while I'm waiting on that I would post a title that I ran across today that seemed interesting.
Invisible Cities. By Italo Calvino. Digital List price $14.00; Print List Price $14.00. Kindle price $1.99 (just $1.99 additional for the audiobook with Whispersync after purchase of the Kindle book). 4-1/2 out of 5 stars from 161 reviews at the present moment. http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Citi...cities+calvino. Imaginary conversations between Marco Polo and his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, conjure up cities of magical times. “Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvelous invention like Invisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant” (Gore Vidal). Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book. |

Another Bernard Cornwall title is $1.99 & £1.99 at the same stores: Sharpe's Tiger, the earliest by internal chronology in the Sharpe series (but not the first written).

God Is An Englishman
by R. F. Delderfield is $2.99 at B&N http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/god-...god+englishman Below is the blurb: From master author R. F. Delderfield, the first in the beloved classic God Is an Englishman series. The first novel in the epic God Is an Englishman series, this book is a stirring saga of England in the 19th century, as the Industrial Revolution takes hold, forever changing the landscape of England and her people. Adam Swann, scion of an army family, returns home in 1858 after service with Her Majesty's army in the Crimea and India, determined to build his fortune in the dog-eat-dog world of Victorian commerce. Swann is soon captivated by Henrietta, the high-spirited daughter of a local mill owner. As Swann works to build his name, he and Henrietta share adventures, reversal, and fortune. A beloved novel by a beloved author, God Is an Englishman is a treasure both for Delderfield fans and the growing legion of fans of historical fiction |

Finally, Anya Seton's historical novels are gradually being published as ebooks in the UK over the Spring & early Summer.
Currently 'Katherine' is available from Google Books & Amazon for £1.99 instead of £5.99 Quote:
