87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

Instead of a traditional historical narrative, "A Grandmother Begins the Story" by Michelle Porter weaves together past and present through the entwined stories of five generations of Métis women, the bison that are so important to their people, and the land around them. From a young mother struggling to connect with her newly discovered heritage to the ancestors whose work is still not finished even in the Afterlife, these women's stories connect and influence each other. The women are irrevocably tied to each other, as well as to the bison (and their descendants) and the stories of what has happened to their land over the generations.
