87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

Everyone knows about Fred Astaire, the dancer and actor who charmed his way to stardom in golden age Hollywood, but Eliza Knight's "Starring Adele Astaire" highlights the woman who was there on the way up: his sister and first dance partner, Adele. Adele gained her own fame as a star on the stage, but there's a part of her that would like to step out of the spotlight and live a quieter life with a family of her own. Along the way, she befriends Violet Wood, an ambitious dancer with everything to prove, and the two women's journeys intersect as they both question whether the fame and glamour are really worth it.
