Off The Shelf offers this list of 9 Historical Novels That Offer New Perspectives of Our World. Included on the list is Jamie Ford's Love and Other Consolation Prizes; Ford's Hotel On The Corner of Bitter and Sweet is currently being adapted into a movie, which I'm really looking forward to seeing.

Yet another list from Book Bub gives us 26 Ridiculously Good Historical Fiction Books. It includes some of the same books on the previous lists but there are also some books on this list I've never seen before that look interesting.Bustle has put together a list of 11 Historical Romances To Pick Up Instead of Re-Reading Pride and Prejudice (although I see nothing wrong with doing that either!). How beautiful is that cover on Chanel Cleeton's Next Year In Havana?
What are some of your favorite historical fiction books? Any that made you cry?
I can’t think of any that have made me cry but I have recently read two books with a similar premise that I really enjoyed..The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave and The Darkest Shore by Karen Brooks. Both inspired by real historical events.
ReplyDeleteI do love books based on historical events!
DeleteI really enjoyed the book Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham was so good...about the Tulsa Massacre in 1921. A lot of my historical fiction books are young adult or mystery novels!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to add Dreamland Burning to my tbr!
