"The Time of Singing" by Elizabeth Chadwick

I'm a sucker for a good historical novel.  I love the combination of historical fact and historical plausibility, and how we get the feeling of a period rather than just the facts.  If you're interested in fiction set during the Middle Ages, then I'd recommend "The Time of Singing" by Elizabeth Chadwick.  The novel spans a longish time period with a lot of characters and a lot of historical information.  Chadwick managed to take all of this information and story line (and it's a lot), and weave it together into a coherent and gripping novel.

If you enjoy "The Time of Singing", I recommend reading Elizabeth Chadwick's other fantastic novels set during the Middle Ages.  I would also recommend Philippa Gregory and Posie Graeme-Evans's novels.  I haven't read anything by the following authors (yet), but I've been told they write in the same genre: Margaret George, Rosalind Laker, Alison Weir.
