Sharpe's Rifles
by Bernard Cornwell
A solid, fictional historical war novel that just so happened to take place over the same pilgrimage route in Spain I travelled by foot in 2021! Having a clear vision of the landscape, especially the final battle at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, really added to the experience. An unintended but pleasant surprise.
That said, the writing itself is entertaining, if not hampered by the cheesy romance subplot and glorification of warfare. Worth a read if you're at all interested in the time period and historical warfare.
