Top 10 Favourite Historical Fiction Novels

it's absolutely fantastic and in the rest of the books we have women including geologists and bar maids and music teachers and it's so fantastic absolutely love these stories

really beautifully written really gorgeous prose that you cannot help but sink your teeth into and get completely drawn into the atmosphere is so rich and the characters are so fully rounded despite the length of the novel

i think it's such an incredibly unique and informative and compelling novel that i would recommend it to everyone even if you don't necessarily go for sci-fi because it reads like historical fiction

i love these books they're so comforting heartwarming and genuinely compelling like i find myself turning the pages so quickly so desperate to find out what's going to happen next in them

it's really well written alistair gray's a really interesting writer who i really need to read more by and it's a book i'd also like to reread to reconsider and think more on because it felt like there was a lot going on

including sexing the cherry which is another historical magical realism novel that i love by her

it's really quick to get through and it's also just very compelling the way the narrative runs makes it very difficult to put down and i found myself reading it in the space of two days

i absolutely loved it i loved every single personality and character within these books

i just could not stop turning the pages it's mysterious and atmospheric and it also gives you a protagonist who you can really grow attached to

his story of love and falling in love and the twists and turns his life takes is truly stunning

it was such an incredible book to me as an ancient historian but also i think to anyone interested in historical fiction and sort of feminist looks at history and mythology absolutely brilliant
