Historical Fiction Fridays provides in-depth knowledge of the historical elements of each book we read.  Hosted by Seana Zimmer, Hillsborough library staff

Explore different time periods, uncover buried history, and share your stories! If you are not an avid reader but enjoy history, this is a low-stress entry into book discussions. Historical Fiction Fridays provides in-depth knowledge of the historical elements of each book we read. 

Towles moves from the upper-crust 1938 New York of his crackly, elegant Rules of Civility, a New York Times best seller, to 1920s Moscow, where Count Alexander Rostov is forced into house arrest in a tiny attic room in the Metropol, the glamorous hotel staring straight at the Kremlin. ~ SCLSNJ Summary
