Re: Historical Fiction
My favorite genre!
Try Forever by Pete Hammill
and the Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe.
I posted this same thing months ago, let me see if I can find the thread and bump it.

For some reason, Sarah's Key was awesome for the first half, and then the second half I couldn't care less!! It really lost steam, and I just wanted the book to end.
I heard they're turning it into a movie.
