Historical novel

A historical novel is a story set in a specific historical period, using real events, settings, and sometimes real people to provide an authentic backdrop. While the plot and characters are fictional creations, they are woven into the context of the time, allowing readers to experience and understand different eras through compelling storytelling. This genre blends imagination with meticulous research to bring history to life, offering both entertainment and insights into past societies, cultures, and events. It’s a way to explore history emotionally and personally, beyond just dates and facts.
