I think of how often history makes heros or villains of people when often they’re neither. I enjoy learning through historical fiction and am so glad Diana is so amazing with research along with so compelling to read. I enjoy the learning and feel like I’m getting a truer picture of the factual people in the books. -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board
