- aulsmith : Doesn't meet my definition of historical fiction.sturlington : Took place during the author's lifetime and based partly on his experiences.elkiedee: Historical fiction is set in the past but it can be a period within the author's lifetime - the past can look very different from 25 or 40 years later. I hope no one who argues this isn't a historical novel believes that either Possession or The Daughter of Time, both above this in the list, are historical fiction. They are brilliant novels which I would recommend to fans of historical fiction but they are both contemporary novels with significant interest for historical fiction readers.leslie.98 : Not historical fiction

- Explicaciones
- 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 fictionleslie.98 : Not historical fiction
