Tastes are Changing?

Never used to like books that weren't contemporary.  Never liked them at all.  It started changing with Here Lies the Librarian and it has just kept on changing.  If anyone could help me to love a book not set in the present day it would be my go-to author, Frances O'Roark Dowell.  Dovey Coe was her first book and man, you can't tell it's a first timer and it let's you know right out that she is a great author, with great things to come.
This book is set in the 20s and is the story of poor mountain family and a girl named Dovey who is accused of murder.
