Hey guys! I was so impressed by everyone's knowledge in another thread, I am hoping you all can help me by recommending some historical fiction set in Eastern Europe. Specifically, the following cities/regions:
Prague
Warsaw
Krakow
Budapest
Transylvania (but not Dracula )
Ljubljana (or just Slovenia)
Dubrovnik, Split, or Zagreb (or just Croatia)
Right before I went to Ireland last Summer, I read Morgan Llewellyn's fantastic novel set during the 1916 uprising, and seeing all of those things, and places when I actually went to Dublin made the experience all the better. So I'd like to get some historical perspective before this Summer's trip as well. I'm mostly interested in fiction, but if anyone happens to know a really great non-fiction title, I'd love to hear that too.
Thanks in advance, I hope it's okay to post this here
