I've recently enjoyed Leonardo's Swans by Karen Essex. Follows  
Beatrice and Isabel of Ferrara through 15th c. Italian life.  Topics  
include art history, marriage and family life, military actions,  
travel, daily life (upper class mostly).  Sexual content may may it  
inappropriate for younger girls.

Greetings to all,
I am in search of opinions on books.  At a recent demo, I  had a  
question
from a mundane lady about what books I might recommend for her summer
reading.  She was looking for fiction novels that portray medieval life
accurately.  I had just finished reading World Without End by Ken  
Follett so
I recommended that and another,The Illuminator by Brenda Rickman  
Vantrease,
both being set in the 14th century. She did not have any certain time  
period
in mind, although she used the M word (medieval)...but I would like  
to have
any novels from within our time period for a grown-up reading list.   
So, do
you have a favorite that fits the bill?  Please send your favorites  
to me
here...ladysayher at gmail.com.

Thanks for your help, and I hope to see you all at Highland River  
Melees on
June 14th.
