Emperor by Stephen Baxter
I really enjoyed how the fall of Roman Britannia was described in this book. I’ve never quite grasped how/why unsophisticated “barbarians” so completely destroyed not just the economy or culture but a civilisation. A good friend of mine refuses to read historical fiction because he claims it confuses him about what really happened…Â in this case personalising it and weaving it into a story over several generations has really helped me understand a process that I probably wouldn’t have looked at closely enough otherwise.
