Hello r/suggestmeabook. As inspiration for my own writing, I'm looking for books whose story is set somewhere experiencing a famine. I'd like to catch a glimpse of how civilized society and people react to not having enough food to go around. Historical fiction or pure fantasy are both ok, though I'd like to read something set before the 1900s if the suggestion is historical fiction. Thank you!
The ideal book will really immerse the reader in the situation!

The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck. The whole book isn’t about a famine but it’s a big chunk of the first half of the book
