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.

Well, from Goodreads giveaways, 'The Miniaturist' is an interesting historical fiction. It takes place in 17th - century Amsterdam and follows a young bride who receives miniatures that seem to have a strange connection to her life. Also, 'The Underground Railroad' is a powerful historical fiction.

Sure. 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' by John Boyne is a great start. It's a relatively short and easy - to - read book that gives a harrowing look at the Holocaust from the perspective of a young boy. Another good option is 'Number the Stars' by Lois Lowry. It's a simple yet powerful story about a girl in Denmark during World War II. These books are not too complex in terms of language and plot, making them ideal for beginners in historical fiction.

I'd recommend 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo'. While it's more of a blend of historical and contemporary, it has a great deal of historical context from Hollywood's golden age. It tells the story of a reclusive Hollywood star who decides to tell her life story to a young journalist. It's full of glamour, love, and the dark side of fame, all set against the backdrop of different historical periods in Hollywood.

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.
