I've a fairly extensive collection of Sharon Kay Penman books I've yet to read. I think it's past time to tackle them.
I finished Here Be Dragons in December 2016, and already have read Falls the Shadow, book 2. I know The Reckoning is next, but I've amassed the entire Henry II series, and have yet to even open one of them, so I'm starting When Christ and His Saints Slept this month.
Anyone interested in reading along?

Her books are really good, I would recommend them to readers of Medieval historical fiction.

Which book would you suggest as the best way to start reading her works?

>5 Lynxear: if you want to just dabble, I'd recommend one of her mysteries, starting with The Queen's Man.
If you're not afraid to jump in and read a chunkster, I'd suggest Here Be Dragons.
This week I'm starting a first-time read of When Christ and His Saints Slept, and am sure it will be wonderful.

All of her books are a treat but Sunne in Splendour is a good start as it is a stand alone rather than part of a series. It is about Richard III and an excellent read.

Well, the first one I read was Sunne in Splendour, about Richard III. The books about Henry II are good I'm told, and I keep meaning to borrow them from
Mom.

>2 Lynxear: Not new at all! I found Here Be Dragons at our local used bookstore in college, circa 1985. Fell in love and have been a fan evern since! Amazingly well written and historical accurate reads. BTW another similar author is Elizabeth Chadwick Her early books are more romantic history, but even those read well. Her books about John Marshall are some of my top reads of all time, not just in HF.
Last year, when I was recovering from surgery, I decided to reread the books not from publishing date, but chronologically. So started with When Christ and his Saints Slept which brought me through Eleanor and Richard's travails, to King John, and then back to Here Be Dragons. Really an interesting way to read through the history, picked up on things I didn't notice before.
Just be forewarned, when you get to The Reckoning, be sure to have a box or two of kleenex handy...
