Listopia > LOST IN TIME

This list is geared towards fans of historical fiction.

Have you ever been reading this type of book when suddenly the Tudor era characters start talking in a strange way; spouting politically correct jargon about 500 years too soon?

Or a 13th century feminist who espoused equal rights and was able to get away with bossing all the men around because she was well...superior and all that. Yeah, right, I'm real sure that happened 700 years ago.

Enough I say! I don't want to hear Medieval historical fiction characters speaking like an American either with noble liberal/humanist jargon coming at you left and right.

If you've ever encountered a book of this type please do your good deed for the day by warning others so feel free to add any and all books that you can recall.

Thanks for your help. I'm so tired of throwing away money on books that somehow got Lost in Time.
