Oh, it's more of a problem for finding books! You can read the latter books in the Anne Shirley or Betsy-Tacy series without noticing they are World War 1 books. They are realistic books about girls who love books, and their friend groups.

For that context, you pretty much have to talk about "when is it set?" and "when was it written?" as two different questions. And if a person doesn't remember author or title, they're not likely to remember "when was it written?" Not beyond "before 1992" or "my mom read it when she was in high school, so it must have been before 1960."
