Historical Fiction Books
You can often tell when someone is a great reader, when they’ve absorbed the wisdom of those who’ve come before and contemplated with themselves and the world via the medium of the all-conquering pen. To know the stories of great authors is to augment our humanity. Historical fiction is therefore a category we couldn’t miss out on at Sherlock & Pages. Through these books we might not only know the great events of our past but to feel them too. What a privilege that is and one which we invite you to share with us through works such as Hilary Mantel’s ‘Wolf Hall’ trilogy or Min Jin Lee’s Korean epic ‘Pachinko.’
