READ-A-LIKES
Jeffery Archer - If you enjoy 'The Scottish prisoner,' you may also enjoy 'Sons of Fortune.' Both are fast-paced and compelling Historical fiction about United States.
Barbara Taylor Bradford - 'The Scottish prisoner' and 'The Ravenscar dynasty' are character-driven and descriptive Historical fiction about Conspiracies.
Anya Seton - Seton wrote several books with similarities to the Outlander novels -- though no one book has everything. Seton has written at least two time-travel novels and several Historical Romances. Each involves stories woven through with historic detail and attention to character in a story-telling style.
