Pieces of April: Pieces of April

Diane Haeger

HarperTorch, 1997

I couldn't put it down!
This is one of those books that pulls you in and the characters become like family. I picked it up on a whim and couldn't put it down. Even after finishing it, I wonder how Stephen and Isabelle's life is going! It reminded me of an American/Scottish version of the ...

Courtesan

Diane Haeger

Pocket, 1993

Exquisite! Rich tapestry of characters, love, and intrigue..
Not one to care about any royalty beyond the English throne or the Scottish clan chief, I was enthralled by the story of Diane de Poitiers and Henri II of France. Diane Haeger vividly brings to life a time frought with intrigue, treason, uncertainty, treachery - as ...

Diane Haeger

NAL Trade, 2008

Couldn't put it down!
I loved this book! As a long-time fan of Tudor history, I find there are LOTS of books out there - not all that good. Diane Haeger transports you back in time, and you feel as if you are a witness of the times. The book ended too soon, and I found I wanted to research ...

The Secret Wife of King George IV

Diane Haeger

St. Martin's Griffin, 2001

A Princely Effort
Let me get straight to the point, this novel is fantastic. I was well-informed about the interesting and somewhat sad life of the secret wife of King George IV, so I wasn't too sure how I would feel about reading a novel about her. I mean, I thought I might be bored. ...

The Perfect Royal Mistress: A Novel

Diane Haeger

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Mistress
I'd heard and read about Nell Gwynn but until I read this book I didn't know she was King Charles II's royal mistress for over 17 years. How she kept him interested that long when others came and went over that period of time was truly an eye opener. If Charles had not ...
