I’m looking for a historical fiction novel with a thrilling storyline that will help me understand the current state of a country, a conflict, the economy, culture… As a hypothetical example, let’s say you read a novel about the Korean War that gave you a base knowledge about why they ended up splitting and establishing vastly different societies. Or a novel set in Cuba that broadly explains how it ended up being the country that we know today.
I know non-fiction would provide me with more clarity about these topics, but I love whenever well researched historical fiction teaches me some of the real stuff. Have you read and loved something like this?
