Penman has quickly become one of my favorite authors. One of the wonderful things about Penman is that she includes a 'note' at the end of each of her novels to explain where she has and has not taken liberties. It's always amazing to read how little she's had to make up! She twists the history into living, breathing characters that you feel you know.
