- julie10reads: The perfect love story and set in,incredibly, turn of the century WASP Southern Ontario! Montgomery captures the priggish snobbery of the time and place, also the low social and economical value of an ageing, middle class spinster. Can't count how many times I've read it!

- julie10reads: For me, Willa Cather is a literary god: every word is necessary and her elisions, like Hemingway's, are freighted with meaning. Cather's knowledge and love of music plangently soundtracks the life and love of a beautiful, ardent young woman.

- julie10reads: Exquisite, written in the style of the time, tale of Harold Godwinson and the events leading up to the Norman invasion of England. The 11th century on comes to live, domestic and political lives fully fleshed out. Incomparable!

- julie10reads: Like Hope Muntz, Sigrid Undset wrote as a chronicler of the time of her novel, 14th century Norway. Often grim, always epic.

- merrystar : Read as an adultjulie10reads: It bears repeating that Georgette Heyer's Regency novels are Jane Austen-ish romances told in a lavishly OED vocabulary with syntax to make H.V. Fowler jealous! The stories are witty, usually complicated and populated with adorable relatives, friends and rogues. You need a dictionary by your side as you read. Dare I say, I prefer Heyer to Austen!

- julie10reads: Raddall is Canada's answer to Nevil Shute. Rich in character and geography, the reader is completely sucked into haunting romance set in 1920s Halifax.
