These writers use their imagination and writing skill to create long-ago worlds, should we call their results “fictitious? How should we judge their work: entertainment or history, writing style or imagination? Is there such a thing as a historical novel? Some would say “no.” In these four novels by women, what part do the authors see women playing in the worlds they imagine? These are not the usual questions we bring to our book discussions but they may be topics to consider as we focus on this category of work.
KML book discussions are free and open to the public at 4:30 p.m. on Zoom. To register and reserve books call 860-927-3761 or email kla-bmcallister@biblio.org.
