Описание: On the hunt for historical fiction books with queer representation? If so, this list is for you! I’m sharing a mix of new releases and older gems that bring queer stories to life across different periods, settings, and identities.

From forbidden love in 18th-century Europe to WWI, these books explore resilience, identity, and romance with all the emotional depth historical fiction fans crave—plus the queer rep we need more of.

✨ A mix of gay, lesbian, and bisexual characters
✨ Some literary, some romantic, some magical—something for every mood
✨ Perfect for Pride Month or year-round queer reading
