Aano by G R Indugopan

What does it take to craft good historical fiction? A few years from now I would have belived if I were told that what you need is great visualisations and architectural descriptions and clothes and linguistic represntation.

But it is not so easy. You see for a reader to relate to stories there needs to be enough voids in the literature where his imagination has the freedom to populate images, colours and faces and that can only come if you approach historical fiction with more subtlety—and Indugopan gets this right in the book.
