Great recommendations! I read Saving Savannah by Patti Callahan Henry, The Last Lifeboat by Hazel Gaynor and The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry last year. I loved all three!

So many good ones here, either that I’ve read or on my TBR!! I also loved The Great Alone, The Book Thief, Lovely War, The Warsaw Orphan, Anatomy: A Love Story, and Lady Tan’s Circle of Women 😊

The orphan train!!!

I am still new to Historical Fiction but I honestly love it.. I have recently read The Book Thief by Markus Zusack and The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes..A lot of the books you mentioned are already on my shelves and the only one you did not mention that I own is A gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles i haven't read it but i have high hopes for it

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton sits as my favorite right now next to The Nightingale. For something that has more of a fantasy feel, I love Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy. The works I’ve read from Ken Follett have all been fantastic. For historical fiction with a clean romance as a huge plot point, I loved Beyond the Lavender Fields by Arlem Hawks.

I love reading historical fiction books these are great reccomendations.

Sarah’s Key, Unbroken

Only occasionally does a historical fiction novel transcend genre and receive the accolades reserved for great literary fiction. One that has done that, and probably my favorite HF novel is "The Year of the French" by Thomas Flanagan. It was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the NBCC (National Book Critics Circle) literary fiction award. If you're fond of beautiful, descriptive writing along with memorable characters and fine pacing this is an HF book for you.

to be honest the only one that I have ever read was kind of interesting and had to do with religion and the catholic church called "Pope Joan". She is suppose to have been a Pope around 12-13-or 1400. There was a section that I had a little trouble with and I had to remind myself as to that was the norm for that time period, But it might be worth a shot.

Pachinko was great!

I loved the Four Winds

I could never list all of my favorite historical fiction as the list would go on and on. My most recent favorite is Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See. I’m currently reading The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon and really enjoying it. Next up is Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon.

Historical fiction has to be within the last 50 years. Where did that come from - quite bizarre. CJ Sansom, Bernard Cornwall, Umberto Eco …..

Girl with the Pearl Earring?

The little liar by Mitch Albom I think u will love it

I don’t know how you can possibly call Hamnet “lighter” fiction.

Chiquita -a story about a woman who measured in height less than a newspaper full page.

You should check out Dinah Jeffries. I have read two of her novels; The Silk Merchant's Daughter and The Tea-Planter's Wife.
