In Episode 195 of Book Talk, Etc., Tina and Hannah dive into the world of historical fiction and what defines the genre. We discuss our favorite historical fiction sub-genres, explore the historical settings we love, how often we reach for historical fiction, and what keeps us coming back to stories set in the past.
