I’m looking for realistic, literary, and well-researched historical fiction that features an LGBT relationship (I usually read about gay men, but I’m interested in all kinds of queer relationships).
Here’s a few examples of some books I’ve enjoyed:
At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O’Neill – set in Ireland during the 1916 Easter Rising
The Charioteer by Mary Renault – set during WWII. This was written in 1953 so the “history” in question was very recent. I also love Mary Renault’s Alexander trilogy.
As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann – set during the English Civil War.
