Historical Fiction

Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer

Only Time Will Tell is the story of Harry Clifton. Clifton comes from a very modest home and humble beginnings. All along, people around him can tell that there's something special about Harry.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

Reading Catch-22 was sort of like watching a brilliantly shining coin flipping through a majestic parabola in slow motion, with one side representing laugh-out-loud comedy and the other an intense exploration of the terrors of war, making its way to the ground with the weight of someone's fate resting on whichever side it falls on.

Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie

Midnight's Children is a brilliant and complex novel. Told by an unreliable, at times annoying, but endlessly fascinating narrator Saleem Sinai, it is a story in which reality meets myth, in which dreams turn into facts, in which countries live tormented and tragic lives, resembling closely those of human beings that inhabit them.

Book Review: The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan

THE NARROW ROAD TO THE DEEP NORTH is realistic fiction based very much on actual events, and as I read of the events of 1946 and later, I was struck forcibly with how closely this work of realistic, historical fiction resembles the best the literary world has to offer in dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction. 

Supercop of Aryavrat by Mithilesh Kumar

Krishna's mission in Supercop of Aryavrat is to cut through the legend of the hero and show us the mortal side of god. He doesn't want the pompous metaphors and flowery hyperbole of a war epic to bury his other qualities -- his tenderness, his insecurity, his honesty and lack of guile.
