Lesbian historical fiction recs!! > Likes and Comments

It doesn’t really matter what era, whether it be 1680 or 1975 I want it recommended!! 🧡

Do you mean books that are in a historical setting or books written during that time? Either way, i have some recs!! i love historical fiction:

A lady's desire by Lily maxton
The safekeep by Yael Van der Wouden
My lady's lover by Nicola Davidson
She who became the sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
The consorts by Melissa Addey
The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo (in case you haven't read it)
Lesbian pulp novels, although it's quality is arguable, is also a good way to read about how lesbianism was portrayed back then. The beebo brinker series was one of the first lesbian pulp novels to be published.

I was talking about setting, sorry if that wasn’t too clear lol

... takes you to Italy 1748. A lot of fun :)

Here are some nice ones..


Sunburn
The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics
Hiding the Flame
The Tell Tale
The Painter from Seville
Last Night at the Telegraph Club

Yep Historical Sapphic fiction one of my fav genres!
great options already mentioned above.
Also on my shelves as excellent reads:
Thrall of Deception - Edale Lane (if you like Vikings)
The Pull on the Stars - Emma Donoghue (WW1)
A Long Time Dead - Samara Breger (Vampires)
The Girl who fled the picture - Jane Anderson (18th C Jacobites, Europe)

I enjoyed Don’t You Dare by Gayla Turner. There are a lot of historical references to COLORS OF THE SKY, A MEMOIR by Jan Crossen.
