American Historical Fiction discussion

I just stumbled on the first book in this series at the UBS yesterday and thought I'd mention it and see if anyone's read it. They look rather promising.

I've read most of the series and found the books held my interest. Historical information about an area with which I was not familiar at the time. I caution, however, that my thoughts are based on recollection, as it has been some time since I read any of the books. It would be helpful to read them in order.

Thanks Liz. I'll let you all know.

Inglis Fletcher...now that's a name from waay back!

I read The Scotswoman, Inglis Fletcher's novel about Flora MacDonald, many years ago.

I wish her books would be made available as ebooks; with my arthritic hands, it's hard, if not nigh on impossible to hold paperbooks let alone hardbacks. I read a little on the computer. Sure sounds good.

I'll add these to my TBR list. The covers are fun to look at for the clothing and hairstyles. Straight out of the 1960s for some. :-)

I read the SCOTSWOMAN years ago and only recall that I enjoyed it. I never did get hold of the other books. Marilyn, I just got a Kindle and I agree with you entirely about how much easier it is on achy fingers and hands.

You've inspired me to start the first book. I'd forgotten all about it and in the mood for a change of pace. I would love to have these on Kindle. The more I use the device, the more I lean towards books on that and not the dead tree version. So much easier on the eyes, let alone the hands.

Hi Misfit (always nice to see you). I just got a Barnes and Noble Nook at Christmas (the version comparable to the Kindle Fire). Then, my brother sent me a Kindle so I have the best of both worlds (they do stock different books, particualarly older titles so it's nice to have access to both databases). My preference for now is the Kindle because it's lighter and seems easier to hold. I agree, it's a lot easier on the eyes. These aged orbs don't handle small print as well as they used to do. Hopefully, some of the favorite older authors will start appearing in the digital versions.
