*** Guys, I am an idiot. I mistakenly made the Rafflecopter raffle end at 12:01 on 12/17 instead of 11:59 and I cannot change it because Rafflecopter now charges to change times on raffles. This is totally a my bad! If you would like to still enter my giveaway today until 11:59 EST, please leave a comment below with a way to contact you. Remember, you must be a follower and a US resident to win. If you have been tweeting each day, you can still tweet and it will count but make sure you leave the link to your tweet in a comment.***

This is more of a memoir than historical fiction, but Shigeru Mizuki put out a great graphic novel called Nonnonba about folklore and growing up in 1930s Japan. He makes all the monsters and spirits real, so I guess that counts as fiction.
ReplyDeleteI liked Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper and Ken Follett's Winter of the World (book two of the Century trilogy). Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your summary and comments on this historical novel.
ReplyDelete2012 has been a good year, I can't pick just one book!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the historical fiction I enjoyed this year was the Midwife of Blue Ridge by Chrisine Blevin even though it was not published in 2012 I just read it and loved it.

I adored The Snow Child - some are calling it historical fiction....
ReplyDeleteThe Virgin Cure was the first historical title that popped into my mind. I adored it!
