Those of you who like historical fiction should take a look at this work.
This is the first novel ever written.
It's chick lit. Lots of description of dresses and "morning after" letters. Sleeves soaked in tears.
It's fiction, and when it was written, historical fiction.
But the Lady wrote in the Heian period. So it is historical fiction in two ways.
