VERISIMILITUDE

Verisimilitude is, literally, the appearance of truth, having the appearance or semblance of truth or fact; likelihood; probability. A writer attempts to achieve the quality of verisimilitude in his work through such skillful selection of narration and dialogue that the reader will be caught up in the work as representative of "real life."
