87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

"The Davenports" by Krystal Marquis offers a little bit of everything: coming-of-age YA, romance, and a historical look at an underdiscussed part of American history. In the early 20th century, the Davenport family is among a handful of wealthy, elite Black families, having made a fortune in the carriage business. However, they still face prejudices, both big and small every day. Now it's the younger generation's turn to find their place, look for love, and deal with the conflicting expectations that society places upon them.
