#NYTimes published their best historical fiction of 2023 list.

Interesting choices, but don't expect anything set before, I think, the 1700s. I guess in 2023, (great) "historical fiction" didn't include novels with settings similar to Clan of the Cave Bear (Auel), Pillars of the Earth (Follett), or Under Heaven (Kay - during the Tang Dynasty).
