My favorite thing about writing up new release lists is that I inevitably wind up discovering new books that I convince myself to read even as I’m explaining why you might want to read them. I don’t know if that’s a bit like a comedian laughing at their own jokes or if I should just take heart in the fact that I’m persuading at least one person to pick up some of these new releases. Hopefully, my success rate is a little higher than that. But then again, if the comedian doesn’t find their own jokes funny and the writer isn’t enjoying their exposition, then what’s the point of any of it in the first place? All this to say, my own TBR struggles as much with all these incredible new releases as yours do.

As for March’s historical fiction new releases? Well, I’ve got four new books queued up to read. There’s a plethora to choose from, too. These new releases span from the Trojan War to postwar Japan and even a few books that take us up to modern day before they’re through. Go on and let the whims of fate and fancy take you to your next favorite historical fiction novel.

What Keeps Us by Jeanine Boulay Release date: March 1, 2026 The living and the dead reside together at Green-Wood Cemetery. It’s been that way for more than a century. The cemetery stands sentinel, and Rebecca, its archivist, guards its stories. Through a series of interconnected stories, the lives of four women intersect with the cemetery as they face everyday occurrences and impossible choices from post-Civil War New York City to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now I Surrender by Álvaro Enrigue, translated by Natasha Wimmer Release date: March 3, 2026 Author of one of my favorite historical fiction books of the last few years, You Dreamed of Empires, Álvaro Enrigue has now set his sights on the history of the borderlands fought over by Mexico and the United States, and all the people caught up in it. It’s a story that reimagines the wild freedom of the Old West and how exactly it was “won.”
