| HF is my favorite genre, especially when the main character is a woman or girl, but I don't like WW2 stories. I don't mind the other wars though, this year I enjoyed The Women, House of Eve, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo... Any recommendations? |

That’s fiction/fantasy in my book. I rated it 1 star because it didn’t feel at all based in historical reality. |

I love Lauren Groff but found this almost completely unreadable. |

A fantasy version of history, bad history. Characters with personalities and actions not grounded in the historical period. |

Ken Follet’s Kingsbridge series (start with Pillars of the Earth) and Century Trilogy.
Hamnet and the Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell The Physician by Noah Gordon Pachinko by Min Jin Lee The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan I know you said no WWII (and I agree, the market is oversaturated!) but All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer is a really beautiful novel. |
