Saga fiction reading guide
Settle in for sweeping stories that span generations.
Saga fiction typically follows multiple characters through stories that can span years, generations, and locations - monumental tales of a family or families' journey through life. Think 'Outlander', 'Gone With The Wind', even 'Lord of the Rings'.
From fantastical adventures, romantic escapades and great historical events, to the ups and downs, victories and tragedies of everyday folk - let yourself be swept up in some truly epic tales.
