What are some recommended historical fiction books from Goodreads in 2015?

One great historical fiction from 1989 could be 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. It's a sweeping epic set in the Middle Ages, full of detailed descriptions of architecture, power struggles, and the lives of ordinary people at that time.

Another good one is 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah. It's about two sisters in France during the Nazi occupation. It shows the strength and sacrifice of women during that difficult time, and the writing really draws you into their world. It has complex characters and a gripping plot that keeps you turning the pages.

I also recall 'Circe' by Madeline Miller being highly recommended. It's a retelling of the story of Circe from Greek mythology, but set in a historical context that gives a vivid picture of the ancient world. The writing is beautiful and really brings the characters to life.

'A Gentleman in Moscow' by Amor Towles is also a wonderful historical fiction from that year. It tells the story of a Russian aristocrat who is put under house arrest in a luxury hotel in Moscow after the Russian Revolution. Through his eyes, we see the changing political and social landscape of Russia over the years, with his encounters and relationships adding depth to the story.

Also, 'A God in Ruins' is a companion to 'Life After Life' and delves into the life of Teddy during the World War II era.
