Where I heard about it

  • A reply to @moseskagan — named in answer to his question “What historical fiction should I read next?” in a thread on X, April 2025 — non-fiction, despite arriving in a historical-fiction thread.

Connections

  • What historical fiction should I… (tweet) — the saved thread this recommendation came from.
  • Historical Fiction · Company Building — where this sits in the corpus.
