I really want to read some historical fiction from this time period, but I’d love it even more if the main characters are working-class—like nurses or cooks or that kind of thing. If anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate it!
What will stand the test of time?

This is a tough question, but that’s kind of why I want to ask it. I feel like hearing other perspectives helps me notice stuff I’d never think about, and it might even change how I look at things I really love.
What do you think is something that’ll really last?
And I’m not only thinking books—like, fantasy stuff across all media. What do you think from the last twenty years could still be something people can enjoy a hundred years from now, and why do you think it would have that kind of staying power?
