The time period should be reflected accurately, and yet historical details shouldn’t detract from the plot or storytelling. Historical fiction as a genre is a bit tricky. ![]() Because I think it’s important we discuss history and fiction and how historical fiction can bring us closer to history. And since fiction and drama tend to focus on Henry and his daughter Elizabeth, it’s always interesting to me to delve into the other lives and stories of other persons during this time, especially women.Īnd since I enjoyed both The White Queen and The White Princess television series by Starz, I was excited when The Spanish Princess came out.

Eugenides's tantalizing, macabre first novel begins with a suicide, the first of the five bizarre deaths of the teenage daughters in the Lisbon family the rest of the work, set in the author's native Michigan in the early 1970s, is a backward-looking quest as the male narrator and his nosy, horny pals describe how they strove to understand the odd clan of this first chapter, which appeared in the Paris Review, where it won the 1991 Aga Khan Prize for fiction. ![]() ![]() The result is a window on how the men, their wives, concubines, and children lived, whether in bleak frontier garrisons or guarding the emperor in Rome.

He defines a ghost town as a town with a population markedly decreased from its peak, one whose initial reason for settlement no longer keeps people there. Smelters, homes, stores, and the remarkable wooden American Hotel can be found in Cerro Gordo, which the author calls ""California's best true ghost town.""Seasoned back-roads traveler Philip Varney, who has visited nearly a hundred ghost towns in the area, provides a down-to-earth and helpful guide to more than sixty of the best in Southern California and nearby Inyo and Kern counties. ![]() One of the best-preserved stamp mills in the West is in Skidoo. Most are remnants of once-colorful mining towns, though there are also railroad towns, a World War II relocation center, a promoter's swindle, and a failed socialist colony.

The eruption of the revolution that brings this first part to a close with the tragic death of Fahmy dislodges the eternal timelessness from its harmony, stability and static continuity. Palace Walk establishes the traditional time with its slow rhythm and static continuity, the rituals and daily chores mark the cyclical time. Palace Walk covers two years in 533 Pages? Palace of Desire four years in 448 pages, and Sugar Street ten years in 330 pages.
