An alternate history?

[Andrea]

I'm very excited to play Books on the Nightstand BINGO and have printed my card, but I could use some help thinking of a pick for the square "An alternate history". I've been thinking for a while, but keep coming up blank. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Fatherland by Robert Harris and Dominion by CJ Sansom spring to mind - both about the Nazis winning WWII. I can't think of a non-Nazi example at the moment, but I'm sure someone will chime in...

Reading it right now! :)

I haven't read it but I've heard amazing things about 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

I loved 11/22/63! There's a few spots where King indulges his love for "going for the gross-out," but it's really one of my favorite King novels.

Would The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood qualify?

Probably not when published, but maybe now.

Some science fiction tends to become alternate history as time goes on.

I think The Stand has become alternate history now.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have looked up the books you've suggested and I basically want to read all of them, haha. My TBR is out of control...

Do you think 1984 by George Orwell counts?
