I haven't read any books by Tracy Chevalier, but The Last Runaway sounds interesting - I like stories about revolutionary people, people who are brave and make a difference for the rest of us. If you're interested in reading more about slavery I would suggest Uncle Tom's cabin [although it is a very hefty read and I personally didn't finish it!]. Fallen Angels sounds good - I'm always awed by how much the Suffragettes did and I feel guilty that I don't always remember to vote. Historical fiction is definitely one of the genres I don't read enough of, so thanks for your suggestion!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807176989933960320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6169926717808256492.post-67355407890442710062014-04-25T06:30:58.560-07:002014-04-25T06:30:58.560-07:00I loved The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier, it ta...I loved The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier, it taught me about the people who used to hide slaves before the emancipation in America. I've read most of her novels but this is the first I really loved since Fallen Angels, set around the time of the Suffragette movement in London.Adele Caffreynoreply@blogger.com
