I know these look like romance novels but actually I think they are more about English history from a woman living at that time.
Has anyone read Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand ??

My favorite novel is 'Ahab's Wife, or the Stargazer,' by Sena Jeter Naslund.
My all-time favorite non-fiction is 'Wild Swans, Three Daughters of China,' by Jung Chang.
Both are beautifully written and would make good "discussion" books.
