87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

Sofia Lundberg, Alyson Richman, and M.J. Rose uncover the true story of the women whose art sparked the abstract art movement in "The Friday Night Club." In the early 1900s, Hilma af Klint finds herself frustrated and excluded in the male-dominated art world of Stockholm. She brings together an eclectic group of women painters and writers — dubbed "The Five" — so they can support one another and even dabble in the occult in hopes of further inspiration. Over a century later, a curator uncovers the story of The Five and slowly discovers more unsettling questions about the history and funding of the entire art world.
