I think these books are of the genre "historical fiction". If so, what else might I like?

Roots
The Red Tent The Clan of the Cave Bear series Any suggestions on other books I may like? Gone with the Wind was good, but about as romantic as I want. I'm not into historical romance novels - I remember their Fabio covers, my mom sitting on her lounge chair devouring them - just not my cup of tea. Thank you so much for any suggestions!! |

If you liked Roots, read Queen: The Story of an American Family by Alex Haley Cane River by Lalita Tademy If you liked The Red Tent, read Zipporah, Wife of Moses Sarah Lilah all by Marek Halter |

I always enjoyed the first 80% of Michener's books. They're incredibly well researched and interesting, but at the 80% mark it's like he got bored with the topic and said, "Ok, time to wrap it up." |

Sigh, I liked them up until about book 4 and then was just too depressed at how much worse they got to continue. Also depressed at the casting for the show. |
