  1. karin says:

    i too love dorothy dunnett and guy gavriel kay – i wonder if you have read the boudica series by manda scott? if not, i am jealous because you have it still to discover!

    superb, complex storylines. lyrical prose. masterly research and (best of all) the most wonderful characterisation.

    enjoy!

  2. The Idle Woman says:

    Hello Karin – thanks for your comments. No, I haven't read anything by Manda Scott yet, although I read an interview with her over at Historical Tapestry the other day (maybe you found this blog via my comment there, I don't know). She cites Mary Renault and Dorothy Dunnett among her influences, which is certainly a very good sign. Perhaps I should give her books a go. Thank you for the recommendation!

    Edit: I did eventually get round to Manda Scott in June 2016 and it was definitely worth the wait! Click on the following link to read my thoughts on the first of the Boudica novels, Dreaming the Eagle.

  3. The Idle Woman says:

    I update this page intermittently so if you're looking to see if I've posted on a particular author it's always worth Googling “the idle woman” and then the author's name, just to check. When you left your comment I'd just read my first Sutcliff – the wonderful Sword at Sunset – and I'm very much looking forward to exploring more of her books. I've just brought this page up to date, so you will find a link here too. Enjoy exploring and thanks for the comment!
