The Best Historical Fiction Books You've Never Heard Of

"Historical fiction allows for exploration of themes, through the eyes of history. As we know, history isn't always pretty, and maybe that's why some of these books don't get the praise we think they deserve. Past the displays of fresh publications and best sellers, there on the bottom shelf, or crammed between favorite authors, you might find a book with an unusual cover or title. Give the book a chance because you never know what brilliance you'll find."
