- Today I thought we could revisit my Renaissance series and talk a little bit about the Borgia family. I think they work extremely well in historical fiction and frankly, I'll read any book about Cesare Borgia.
Books I Mentioned:
The Serpent and the Pearl by Kate Quinn
The Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower
The Borgia Bride by Jeanne Kalogridis
Poison by Sara Poole
The Borgia Confessions by Alyssa Palombo
Blood and Beauty by Sarah Dunant

Sarah Dunant is one of my favorite authors! The Birth of Venus is amazing.
I agree--Birth of Venus is one of my all time favorites.
Watching youre videos still ❤
Me too 💔
The Sarah Durant book sounds like an excellent read. I love the Renaissance time period too! Thanks Jennifer.
Hope you enjoy it!
Would love more of these videos - Hope you are doing well!
I am going to try and read some books 📖 about this family please stay safe and enjoy your reading love you and your amazing channel love your friend John from Australia xxx
Thank you, John!
So timely to me. I just launched a Borgia binge; been watching the tv show along with reading a non-fiction (by Christopher Hibbert) and Blood & Beauty, which I just finished (and I got a copy of the second book but haven't started it yet) I also read The Vatican Princess by CW Gortner, which was pretty lurid, but entertaining. Next up for me are the Medicis.. Appreciate your videos, I'm a longtime fan...
The Vatican Princess by CW Gortner is a book I’ve read on Lucrezia and loved, looking forward to checking out these other recommendations!
That's been on my TBR for a long time! I will have to pick it up!
Hi Jennifer. I love Sarah Dunant. I discovered her thanks to you. I’ve read three of her books. I started with her first Borgia book but had to return it to the library. I will read her two Borgia books at some point this year. Love this kind of video.
She is wonderful! Glad you enjoy her.
Ok thanks for helping me figure out what to read next- B&B is on my shelf & ive been dying to get to it 🤗 Just finishing C&Punishment.. im not loving it 😒 nor the P&V translation 😏(fingers crossed TI & TBK are more to my liking). Love your Renaissance videos! 😊
I hope you enjoy it! Sorry that C&P hasn't been all you hoped.
Have you read the manga "Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto"? It's amazing, beautifully illustrated, very slow paced and positive towards Cesare. It all takes place when he's 16 and in university in Pisa, and it ends with the conclave. He's shown as sharp and ruthless, though he's also an idealist. There's also a new musical adaptation that's amazing. You should look it up. There's an original character, Angelo, who's more or less the point of view character. He's shippable with Cesare (and they sing nice duets together in the musical) but a lot of the fans ship Cesare with Miguel (Michelotto). Giovanni de'Medici is also a major character in it.
no, I haven't!! definitely adding this to my list!
the egyptian by mika waltari is the best historical faction I ever read you should give it a read
Any recommendations for non-fiction about the Borgias?
Sarah Bradford has written, in my opinion, two fabulous biographies about Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia. Highly recommended you check out them out. One is titled Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy and the other is simply Cesare Borgia
