Recommendations for books where Fact and Fiction merge

[nannynick]

Hi all, I have just finished The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor. Intermingling real information about the photos of the Cottingley Fairies with a fictional storyline. Are there other books like this, where there is a factual story interwoven with a fictional one?

Not really at all factual but has the flavour of the last book you read - Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel

Fever /mary beth Kean the story of Typhoid mary the spreader of Typhoid in the US it's wonderful
also i don't think anyone else has said it yet but the best of all is Schindler's Arc . Faction at its best

Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald (wife of F Scott FitzGerald) by Therese Anne Fowler
American Tabloid - James Ellroy (covers American history including the Kennedys, Vietnam, and civil rights etc)
