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.

That’s fiction/fantasy in my book. I rated it 1 star because it didn’t feel at all based in historical reality.
What?? What about it was fantasy? It was def historical fiction
A fantasy version of history, bad history. Characters with personalities and actions not grounded in the historical period.

I love Lauren Groff but found this almost completely unreadable.

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?
