So sorry, I just realize I didn't even answer the question you wanted to know! A favorite historical fiction which features ordinary people? There are a few, but most recently I can think of The Baker's Daughter by Sarah McCoy...very good!
Thanks!
I thoroughly enjoyed The Snow Child - atypical historical fiction but really good.

I love all of Kate Morton's books, but I especially enjoyed The Forgotten Garden. Such wonderful atmospheric writing and such interesting characters! I love the juxtaposition of present day and the past as well.

No need to enter me as I own this one already (and loved it!) but I can't resist a recommendation question! :) I adored Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy -- Kristin is an amazing heroine -- I just adore her -- and I find Undset's storytelling to be marvelous.
I have Blood Lance by Jeri Westerson on my TBR pile and am making my way to it. The Guilded Lily has been on my wishlist and thank you for the chance in the giveaway. :)
I forgot to add that I follow by Email and GFC.

It's so hard to pick a favorite, but I did read The Sisters Brothers fairly recently and really enjoyed it. They might not have been "ordinary" people but they certainly weren't royalty! Thanks for the chance to win! Enjoy the hop!

I recently read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See which is set in historic China and centers around the daughter of a farmer. It was interesting to read about the rural life. Thanks for the giveaway!

Hmm so difficult because all books I've read feature royalty. vera@luxuryreading.com
Probably my favorite historical fiction novel that I have read where the main characters are normal, not royal is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. So well written, the characters are so deep.
I follow you blog via email: mestith@gmail.com
The Promise by Kate Worth!
I LOVED that book!

Thanks so much for offering this!
I haven't actually read historical fiction concerning ordinary people...I usually read books about U.S. presidents and Egyptian queens.

I can't remember one. I think all of the books I've read are with royalty people. It's time to read about ordinary people! :)

One of my favorites ia Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.
nanze55 at hotmail dot com
Diana Gabladon's Outlander is not focused on any royalty, and it's an outstanding series!!
Thanks for joining in the hop!
I loved The Tea Rose trilogy. While there are a few cameos by famous figures, the real store is about normal people.

one of my favorite royalty free is The President's Lady by Irving Stone
This look like a good read. And I just love the cover!

Some of the best royalty-free historical novels I can think of are Kate Morton's books. The Forgotten Garden is by far my favorite but each was compelling and mysterious and I had trouble putting any of them down
Thanks for the giveaway!

That is such a lovely cover. I'd love to read this thanks!
