While Canada’s History magazine doesn’t review historical fiction, we know that many of our readers are devotees of the genre, and so from time to time we compile a list of recently published Canadian titles. The books mentioned here include tales of murder and romance, military conflict and Arctic exploration, as well as a pair of stories about Louis Riel and the Métis people. There are so many recent historical fiction titles that we’ll publish another list very soon!
