I read a book titled Coventry a few years ago. It was set in England during WW II and the years following. It was a really good book. I can't remember the author's name!

C J Sansom's Matthew Shardlake series I found to be very interesting. And historically informative.
Let me know what you think of them! Also like Dick Francis! |

I also love (and I'm not sure how to categorize them, but they are absolutely charming) the Miss Read series of books. These are books about a schoolteacher and are set in fictional English villages, Thrush Green and Fairacre. |
I've been watching Larkrise to Candleford on DVD while I stitch. This is set in oldie times, fairly light and enjoyable. It is based on the book...

I agree with many of the previous posts and would like to add D. E. Stevenson to your list of authors. Her stories are set mostly post WWII and are descriptive of small villages and are light reads.

The Postmistress

The Agatha Raisin series by MC Beaton is set in the Cotswolds. Amateur detective with a brusque personality - entertaining series.

My most recent English author is Sophie Hannah.
