What's So Interesting About Historical Novels?

historical novels are always about the present, even when they pretend to be about something a thousand years ago. So what's an example of that, other thanthan echo? One of my authors is a margrete josenar, fantastic french writer, memoirs of hadrian. She's retellingtou the life of the roman empire through emperor hadrian,. writinga mir to his successor marcus aurelius. But it's also her response to world war too. And she's totally that's unspoken. It's just a parallel lesson that if you read between the lines, you can pick up.
