When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman
5.0

Sharon Kay Penman is a master when it comes to historical fiction of the period. I love how her books are not only well-researched, but they make you feel as though you are truly a part of Medieval England. I have previously read the Welsh trilogy and was interested to take a step backward in time to the Anarchy. It was also very interesting to read Penman's interpretation of young Henry and Eleanor of Aquitaine. I will not only be continuing on with this series right away, but I will definitely be reading every one of Penman's books eventually.
