Re: Books - tropey historical f/f

[(Anonymous)]

I’ve asked this before on meme to crickets—maybe I’ll have better lunch here, or maybe it just doesn’t exist!

I’m looking for tropey and escapist but well-written historical f/f with a focus on the romance. I’ve enjoyed the Alpennia series and Sarah Waters in different ways, but I’m looking for something that’s more tonally similar to what KJ Charles and Tamara Allen are for m/m. Mystery or SF/F subplots welcome. Any recs, meme?

I'm afraid that I'm still only dipping my toe into the world of f/f published fiction, but here's some decent goodreads lists that I've been working off of, less because I trust GR recs and more because it's nice to have recs in one place.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4541.Best_Lesbian_Fiction

And Lesbrary is decent for reviews, and has a tag for historical fiction:

Have you tried Jeanette Winterson? She's not super tropey but I really like her writing, and some of her novels are SFF-like. From what I can remember: The Powerbook, Lighthousekeeping, The Stone Gods, Sexing the Cherry, The Passion and Gut Symmetries might interest you. I am pretty sure they all have FF.
