Can you recommend any must - read historical fiction from Goodreads 2017?

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.

Yes, 'The Last Convertible' by Anton Myrer is a good one. It's set during World War II and follows the lives of a group of college friends as they are drawn into the war. It shows how their relationships change and how they face the challenges of the war.

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.

I would recommend 'The Signature of All Things' by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's a sweeping historical novel that takes the reader from the 18th century to the 19th century. It follows the life of Alma Whittaker, a botanist, and through her story, we get to experience different historical events and scientific developments of the time. It was well - received on Goodreads in 2014.

Definitely 'The Luminaries'. It's a complex and engaging historical fiction set in New Zealand during the gold rush. The plot is intricately woven, and the characters are well - developed. It gives a great insight into the era of gold - seeking and the society at that time.

Diana Gabaldon was also well - liked. Her 'Outlander' series combines historical fiction with elements of time travel and romance. The series has a huge following and the books are full of rich historical details about Scotland and other places and times.

One great Irish historical fiction on Goodreads is 'The Dubliners' by James Joyce. It gives a vivid picture of life in Dublin during a particular era. Another is 'Troubles' by J. G. Farrell which is set during the Irish War of Independence. And 'Brooklyn' by Colm Tóibín is also a popular choice, telling a story of an Irish immigrant in the US with a backdrop of Irish history.

One great read in Goodreads' Renaissance historical fiction is 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel. It offers a vivid portrayal of Thomas Cromwell's rise to power during the Tudor period. The characters are richly drawn and the historical details are immersive.

Sure. 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' is a powerful historical fiction from 2018. It tells the true - life inspired story of Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who was forced into Auschwitz. It's a story of love and survival in the most harrowing of circumstances.

Sure. 'The Alice Network' is a great one. It weaves together two timelines, one during World War I and the other after World War II. The story follows female spies and is full of mystery and historical facts.
