|title=The Windsor Faction

|author=D J Taylor

|rating=2.5

|genre=Histrical Fiction

|summary=I jumped at the chance to review this novel. I enjoy reading books based within this period and was fascinated by the premise of ''what if?'' proposed on the back cover. The prologue was beautifully written and I hoped that was an indicator for the rest of the book.

|author=Jacqueline Winspear

In the space of an afternoon, Paul's world is turned upside down. His father is shot in front of him, having been discovered as an early resistance organiser. His mother is arrested. And Paul finds himself fleeing for his life, hunted by the Nazis for what his father knew. The journey is a long and dangerous one - through Belgium and France for the Pyrenees and Spain and then, hopefully, for England. Every stage is dangerous but the final one - the Eagle Trail across the mountains - is the most perilous.

~~|title=I Always Loved You~~

~~|author=Robin Oliveira~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Historical Fiction~~

|summary=Mary Cassatt was an anomaly among the Impressionists: she was one of very few women, and also the only American-born member. A Philadelphia native, she made Paris home for nearly five decades. Oliveira's novel opens in 1926, with Cassatt (now nearly blind) searching for the letters Edgar Degas wrote her in the 1870s-80s. Degas and Cassatt had been subjects of Parisian gossip; no one knew for sure whether their friendship shaded into romance. Even Mary herself seems confused about what they meant to each other; 'she still didn't understand…whether there was room for love in two lives already consumed by passion of another sort.
