The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell
by William Klaber
A Feminist in 1850 (12/8/2014)
I found this book to be different but good. Lucy Lobdell was very brave and independent running away from her toddler daughter seeking work disguised as a man only to receive better pay.She became comfortable in her new role and new sexuality. I hadn't heard of Lucy Lobdell before and am glad I chose this book to read. Totally different from any other book I've read.
Juliet's Nurse
by Lois Leveen
Juliet's Nurse (7/18/2014)
Angelica and Pietro lost all their children to the plague. Pregnant again only to bear a still born daughter, Pietro sends Angelica off to the household of the rich and powerful Cappeletti family to become the wet nurse for their newborn Juliet.

This is a wonderful book about love and devotion between Juliet and her nurse Angelica who is more of a mother to her than Lady Cappeletti. It also has jousting, rivalry, feasts and suspense. If you liked Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, you will surely enjoy Juliet's Nurse. It is a wonder read.
