Fiction

I tried Three Ordinary Girls, which is about the Dutch Resistance. It really should be classified as non fiction; it's not quite dull but as a novel it could have been very engaging, possibly an all nighter.

Then I started The Archers Story which is fiction and a massive work. There are 12 books and I have the first 6 as a set. This is very interesting, being set during the Crusades (specifically the on e led by Richard The Lionheart who got on everybody's shit list due to his war crimes and abandonment of his troops only to be captured on his way to rescue his wife and sister.) It begins with evacuations from Christian forts before the Saracens massacre them. The characters are engaging and the events are intriguing but it could use a little punch to keep you up. So I am going to work on it one book at a time and have put it aside for a bit.
