Julie Garwood one of my favorite authors for historical romance (not smutty though). What makes hers fun to read is she uses some of the same characters/ and family names so you can kind of create a timeline as you go through the books.
I’m reading The Lady of the Rivers by Phillips Gregory
I loved that book
Geraldine Brooks books.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay and Those that saved us by Jenna Blum
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is excellent, especially if you’re fascinated by Scottish history like the Jacobite rising.
11/22/63 by Stephen King is kind of historical fiction. Main character attempts to travel back in time in order to prevent the assassination of JFK. I loved it.
I’ve heard All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is excellent. It’s on my massive to read list.
Stalking Jack the Ripper and Hunting Prince Dracula (a series)
These is my Words by Nancy E. Turner! Very good!!!
Salt to the Sea is beyond brilliant.
“Outlander” is indeed phenomenal. But for a single book, I have LOVED “Paint the Wind” by Cathy Cash Spellman. I read it years ago, and only recently remembered it in another discussion. I need to find my copy and read it again …
