These are our picks for the must-read historical fiction titles hitting shelves this Fall, with stories for every kind of reader.
: Author Zadie Smith’s first foray into historical fiction is a story that, while it technically revolves around a court case that gripped Victorian England, explores issues that range from literary history to the horrors of slavery.: It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper—and cousin by marriage—of a once-famous novelist, now in decline, William Ainsworth, with whom she has lived for thirty years.
Andrew Bogle, meanwhile, grew up enslaved on the Hope Plantation, Jamaica. He knows every lump of sugar comes at a human cost. That the rich deceive the poor. And that people are more easily manipulated than they realize. When Bogle finds himself in London, star witness in a celebrated case of imposture, he knows his future depends on telling the right story.
