Of the books I'm currently reading, special mention goes to Tidewater by Libbie Hawker; a fictionalized account of the interactions between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan empire as seen through the eyes of John Smith and Pocahontas. So far I'm really enjoying it, although I may be a bit prejudiced in its behalf, as I live but 40 miles from where the actual events transpired. Naturally the novel doesn't hesitate to speculate in those areas where history is silent — as all historical fictions do — but not beyond the bounds of how things may have actually played out. I'm giving this one a firm thumbs up.
