Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten is Top Ten Underrated Books.
- The Bells by Richard Harvell - A gorgeous book set in 18th century Switzerland and Vienna.
- The Julian Kestrel mystery series by Kate Ross - Four books set in 1820 featuring an amateur dandy detective.
- Mariana by Susanna Kearsley - A beautiful time-slip novel. Historical setting: 17th century.
- The Observations by Jane Harris - A mystery set in 1860s Scotland. Featuring a unique maid named Bessy.
- Indiscretion by Jude Morgan - An absolutely hilarious regency with one of the funniest heroes.
- The Villa Triste by Lucretia Grindle - Set in Italy during the Nazi occupation and present day. Tells the story of two sisters involvement during the Resistance.
- Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell - I feel this gets overshadowed a lot by North and South. Personally, I think this is a better book.
- Under the Poppy by Kathe Koja - A unique historical fiction book set in 1870s Brussels. A hard book to describe.
- Captivity by Deborah Noyes - A book about the infamous Fox sisters. Set in 1840s and 50s New York.
- Song of Seduction by Carrie Lofty - Probably my favorite historical romance. Set in 1804 Austria and featuring a tortured musician.
