I read The Buffalo Cabin, by Kari August, which is about the conflict between small ranchers and large landowners in Wyoming at the last part of the 19th century. It's apparently one of several books based on experiences of her grandparents who settled the West and would have been a lot better if she'd had a good editor. The editing mistakes in it drove me nuts. There are similarities in it to the TV show 1923.
I'm currently reading Isabeau, by N. Gemini Masson (that has to be a nom de plume!), which is a fictionalized account of the life of the wife of Edward II of England from the time she is married to him at the age of 13 and her relationship with Sir Roger Mortimer, to some point when the two of them plot to bring him down. It's part of a duology and so far is very good.
Although it's not fiction, I wanted to mention the other book I read last week, The Liberation of Lomie, by Saloma Miller Furlong. It's the story of her Amish childhood until she left at the age of 20. It's not a happy story, although there are some happy moments in it. I realized, once I had gotten partway through it, that I had seen her on a PBS documentary. She is a very strong person and a good writer. I recommend the book, but you need a strong stomach to get through it.
