Best Historical Fiction

lamotamant: This book made historical fiction multi-POVs a complete addiction for me.

sturlington : DNF

smcwl : Not written as historical fiction.

elkiedee: I think historical fiction can be set in the relatively recent past. 10 years after the war writers in countries on all sides might well have had a very different perspective on those events. I would have no problem regarding a novel written this year but about the Iraq war that started in 2003 and ending before this, as historical fiction. Or a book set in Britain under the last Labour government, or the US just after Obama was elected or reelected, as historical fiction. I think it might be a bit soon to consider a pandemic novel historical fiction, but maybe within 5 years it will be part of our history.

Matteocalosi : Partly autobiographical and written only 10 years after the end of the war, not historical fiction

leslie.98 : Not historical fiction

RuMuse: Set in southern England from 1880 to post-WWI, it's a vivid account of 3 families and their friends, most of them liberal, artistic and unconventional, and how their world changed forever during the Great War.
