Can you recommend me a good historical fiction book?

I looked up the The Nightingale, and a similar book that I enjoyed is The Girl from Venice by Martin Cruz Smith

His Russian detective novels are really good, too, centering around a Moscow homicide investigator.

Shogun series by James Clavell
The Source and Hawaii by James Michener

Similar to The Nightingale, an excellent well written book:

Suite Française by Irene Nemirovsky

Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940. Suite Française tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control. As Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way: a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food; a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy—in their town, their homes, even in their hearts.

If you are interested in the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, the Master and Commander Series by Patrick O’Brien,

Eye of the Needle
Key to Rebecca
Lie Down with Lions

All by Ken Follett all real good.

If you haven’t read ‘Dorian Gray’ it’s amazing, and old. I love dark fiction and sci-fi myself.

Gone to Soldiers – Marge Piercy
The Red Tent – Anita Diamant
The Name of the Rose – Umberto Eco

Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey and Maturin series.

“All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr, set in Ww2 but a very different take on it.

The Runaway Quilt, by Jennifer Chiaverini, is one in a series of books, based on the fictional Bergstrom family of Pennsylvania.

This particular story focuses on Gerda Bergstrom’s memoirs about helping runaway slaves get to free Canada, by using quilt patterns to signal that a house was a safe haven for runaway slaves on the underground railroad.

If you like quilting, and historical fiction, this is an excellent story.

The Raj Quartet – Paul Scott

Just about everything by Michener…
