Theresa | 15995 comments NYTimes came out with an historical fiction summer reading list that is outstanding! I want to read ALL of them! Something for everyone here, and there is even a regency one starting with Napoleon's invasion of Berlin and ending with one of his general's exiled to Australia.

Diverse globally and historically, some are in translation, some are more fiction and some more history. My TBR just exploded.

Here is link to article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/27/bo...

Titles for those stuck behind a pay wall:
The Art of Losing by Alice Zeniter
White Shadow by Roy Jacobsen
Stella by Takis Würger
Tonight is Already Tomorrow by Lia Levi
The Plum Trees by Victoria Shorr
Featherweight by Mick Kitson
Fortune by Lenny Bartulin
The Bohemians by Jasmin Darznik
Leonora in the Morning Light by Michaela Carter
Leaving Coy's Hill by Katherine A. Sherbrooke

Looks like some really good books there. I added a bunch of them to my wishlist.

Robin P | 6037 comments I think I read that article when it came out a while ago. I definitely will read Leaving Coy's Hill because it is about the suffragist Lucy Stone and I will be doing a talk on her later in the year.
