<p>If people are interested in reading a historical novel, how about going back to the Middle Ages; perhaps this: </p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> A Journey to the End of the Millennium - A Novel of the Middle Ages (9780156011167): A. B. Yehoshua: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Journey-End-Millennium-Novel-Middle/dp/0156011166/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307894751&sr=1-4]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Journey-End-Millennium-Novel-Middle/dp/0156011166/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307894751&sr=1-4)</p>
<p>Or this:</p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> The Fruit of Her Hands: The Story of Shira of Ashkenaz (9781439118221): Michelle Cameron: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Her-Hands-Story-Ashkenaz/dp/1439118221/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307894939&sr=1-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Her-Hands-Story-Ashkenaz/dp/1439118221/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307894939&sr=1-1)</p>
<p>On the whole, the reviews of the second one make it seem slightly more interesting. </p>
<p>I have both of them on my potential “want to read” list, whether as part of this group or on my own.</p>
