Look for Diana Gabaldon, she wrote a series of books that start with "Voyager". She is from Wales, and her books are set in England and Scotland. They are told from a Scottish point of view, so if that bothers you, never mind. They story begins in Scotland, just before the battle of Culloden, and end in America after the Revolutionary War. I know it sounds dull and boring, but you will not be sorry. So far they are still some of the best book series I have ever read. Her books were the first I read that had me laughing out loud, crying just as hard, and I'm willing to read them again. One of the perks of a brain injury, is I forget what books are about, so after a couple years, I can read them again!
