Ash: A Secret History by Mary Gentle is an interesting blend of historical fiction (set in the late 15th century) and fantasy fiction.

Zekky posted:I'm looking for some new sci-fi recommendations (or weird fiction/sci-fi adjacent literature), anything I might like given that I particularly like the following books? Greg Egan (does conceptual, "hard" sf, especially his short stories) Michael Swanwick's *Stations of the Tide* Something less sci-fi: Italo Calvino's Cosmicomics or Invisible Cities And not sci-fi at all: Gerald Murnane's The Plains

John F Bennett posted:Are there any books out there where the story lasts for hundreds or thousands of years, following the evolution of a person (maybe immortal?), a tribe, a people, an empire etc.... Also Stephen Baxter's Evolution, which like the Tchaikovsky book doesn't follow actual humans
