Historical Fiction is a literary genre in which the story is set in the past, often during a significant historical event. This category encompasses cultural books that explore different societies and civilizations, as well as books targeted towards young adults that offer an educational yet entertaining perspective on historical occurrences. In addition, it includes non-fiction books that provide factual accounts of the past, and memoirs that offer personal narratives from a historical viewpoint. Despite being rooted in historical facts, these books often feature fictional characters and plot elements.
