Re: Accurately Titled Novels
I was going to read the one about the lesbian, but the title spoiled the ending.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Re: Accurately Titled Novels
I dunno what real novel it is, but I like the one about "the period costumes are pretty".
I once had an African American housemate who just loved those period-costume dramas. Of course, the movie they kept playing over & over was practically the only one findable at the time (say 15 years ago) where the African American characters were not slaves. And got to wear those same pretty costumes as the white characters.
I will tell you if you don't already know that it was a complaint with lesbians for a long time that lesbian characters always died at the end. (Complaint stopped when authors, including & maybe especially lesbian authors, stopped killing them off. For a while, novels featuring a lesbian couldn't get published unless the lesbian died at the end.)
