Hervé Gagnon wrote a saga about the Middle Ages that I am just finishing. He falls into the annoyingly through very many historical novels remind the characters as our contemporaries. To my knowledge, only Zoe Oldenburg, with "Clay and Ashes" and novels that followed did not fall into this trap. Probably because she is a historian. Still, it remains entertaining, I would have trouble saying the opposite, having bought the 4 volumes, won by the former. Gagnon attention to detail (the tales of battles are small masterpieces) and knows how to live his characters
