Book recommendation: biographical fiction
I just read a book about Nefertiti and her sister, along the lines of Margaret George’s biographical fiction (is there a better name for this? I am too lazy to look it up). And I realised how much I enjoy this genre, especially about people I don’t know much about. Help me find some other authors who do this. I’ve read the set about Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine (too lazy to look up the author, again), and I also read things that are less fictionalised and more non-fiction (like Alison Weir) — but there are a lot of boring non-fiction books out there (and boring fiction), and it’s hard to pick out books in this vein sometimes.
I’d ideally like books that aren’t about the Tudors.

Glad to hear you found your cat. Edward Rutherfurd (ford?) is quite good. Jean Plaidy is very popular in the UK.
