A Century of New Historical Fiction Reading - Page 2

"Now that we're a quarter of the way into the 21st century—that's still hard to believe—it can be interesting to ponder our various perspectives on the previous century. One way to go about that, if you're a bookworm, is to seek out stories and novels set in a particular decade of the 20th century. That's the idea behind today's collection, in which Goodreads' ace editorial staff wades into the stacks to assemble a century of historical fiction, sorted by decade. The books below span a wide range of genres—some even live in between genres—and are sequenced chronologically by decade, according to when the initial or the main action of the story takes place." ~Goodreads
