Historical Fiction, Biographies and History 1880-1945 (Mostly American) are my favorites but that does not exclude the genre from other time periods.

2
Reply
Anita

Oh, yes! Nothing better in the whole world than a thick historical novel. I set my time line about 1800 to about 1970, tho.

Wendy

Or a series that stretches out thru generations. I love ‘the American odyssey Series’ A Time to be…’ (Gilbert Morris) It starts in 1900 and each book covers ten years in a family. WONDERFUL series.

Probably police procedural mysteries. Historical and current. I prefer British or Canadian over US writers. Far less focused on guns, so the deaths are usually less violent and far more creative.
