This Rec League was sent in by Anne:

I’ve been re-reading Susanna Kearsley’s books about the Jacobites was reminded about how very unlucky the Stuarts were in their efforts to regain the throne in England. I am interested in books about what might have happened in the Stuarts were successful or if Queen Anne had named her half-brother as her successor instead of her German cousin.

On a similar note, I’m also interested in books that are based on the premise that Napoleon was not defeated and didn’t abdicate as Emperor.

Sarah: Ooof I have been THINKING on this one. The first alt history that comes to mind is this one: A Queen from the North.

Reimagining if the war of the roses hadn’t ended

Kearsley I often recommend with Nicola Cornick, but I don’t think Cornick has done books with those premises.

Claudia: I can only think of “steampunk” sort of settings, not quite alt history.

Are there any alt history recs you’d add to the list? Let us know in the comments!
