Can you recommend some good light historical fiction books?

'Fanny Hill' is an older work that also fits this category. It was written a long time ago and gives a view into the sexual mores and experiences of the time in a somewhat light - if not by today's standards - erotic way, while also being set in a historical context.

Sure. 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' is a great one. It tells a story through letters and gives a charming view of life on Guernsey during and after World War II. Another is 'The Book Thief' which is set in Nazi Germany and shows the power of books through the eyes of a young girl. Also, 'A Gentleman in Moscow' is quite good. It follows a Russian aristocrat who is under house arrest in a hotel for decades and shows different historical periods of Russia.
