I just read The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, and I loved it, and I’m hoping someone can suggest something similar.
It was rich in historical detail and unbelievably well researched. It was also deeply empathetic. I love the Victorian time period it examines but would also be open to something about the gilded age. Dark subject matter a plus.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Nonfiction is the hope, but I’m open to historical fiction as well. Thank you!
