The historical Romance. I used to read these when I was a teenager. But, then grew out of them. I love historical fiction now a days. The historical fiction has changed. They are books they go in the place, and person but then is not stuck in a rigid history. It bends a bit, which makes the story fiction and new. Making us see history a different way. Love the books you mentioned, Loving Frank, D. L Doctorow, can't remember the title, about the homeless men in early 20th century. Baker's Daughter- goes back and forth in history.

Some other historical novels I have read and enjoyed are The Heretics Daughter by Kathleen Kent, Stealing Mona Lisa by Carson Morton, All Other Nights by Dara Horn and The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. I read The Paris Wife but wasn't enthralled by it. I found it a little slow. I also loved Alice I Have Been.
