Changes

It's been a strong year for historic fiction. Well worth checking out in this genre are [[Merivel: A Man of His Time by Rose Tremain]] and [[Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel]]. If the tantalizing glimpse of Charles Darwin in this book has piqued your interest in his life then [[Darwin's Sacred Cause: Race, Slavery and the Quest for Human Origins by Adrian Desmond and James Moore]] is an excellent next step. We also appreciated [[Aftershocks by A N Wilson]] and [[The Four Gospels with introductions by A N Wilson, Nick Cave, Richard Holloway and Blake Morrison]].
