When an author sits down to write a historical fiction book, they need a place for the story to unfold. In “Bluebell“, dad chose the fictional (?) Southern town of Drewsport but didn’t tell us which state it was part of.
In today’s “Counterparts in Literature” post, that won’t be an issue because each of the five novels below take place in a recognized Southern location. All you have to do is match story to state and then head over to my answer page and learn how well you did.
My thanks to BookRiot and Mary Kay McBrayer for the article I used to get my five selections from, 8 Great Southern Historical Novels. Now I’m just hoping they’ll update it soon with one more great story, “Bluebell”.
