Elena Poniatowska
There has been some dispute whether Elena Poniatowska's novel "Here's to You, Jesusa!" might actually be a true story. Can you offer an opinion?

It is said that Poniatowska based her story on real events described to her by a woman in Mexico. Thus, some of the events are real, others are created.... this would mean that the novel, Here's to You, Jesusa, is an example of historical fiction.
