Question

I'm behind in my historical fiction book and i need somebody to recommend a book that i can find and hopefully

Answer 1

Some great historical fiction I have read are:
Tobsha Learner's "The Witch of Cologne" (In a sensuous 17th-century saga set in German Catholic Cologne, Learner transports readers to a time when studying the ancient Kabbalah could prove deadly for a young Jewish midwife. Ruth bas Elazar Saul is the headstrong daughter of the chief rabbi of Deutz, Cologne's Jewish ghetto. She undertakes the forbidden course of mystical study, her Sephardic mother's legacy, before absconding to Amsterdam to escape an arranged marriage. There, Ruth acquires the contemporary midwifery skills she will combine with her sacred learning, and upon her return to Cologne she delivers wealthy burghers' babies using new lifesaving methods, earning a reputation for more than medical genius. Word of her skills travels quickly, and as the Spanish Inquisition stretches its tentacles to the Rhineland, Ruth is arrested for sorcery by the sadistic archbishop Carlos Vicente Solitario, whose persecution of her is fueled by a stymied youthful obsession with her mother. Ruth's keen intelligence and bravery in prison win her an ally, Canon Detlef von Tennen, who falls passionately in love with the "Jewess." The two marry, and Learner has readers rooting for the survival of their unlikely alliance. This steamy, riveting page-turner is also a paean to the triumph of a woman's spirit.

Tracy Chevalier's "Girl With a Pearl Earring" (romance)
Matthew Pearl's "The Dante Club" and "The Poe Shadow" (thriller/myster)
Kathryn Lasky's "Beyond the Burning Time" and "Blood Secret" (young adult)
Elizabeth George Speare's "The Witch of Blackbird (children's fiction, but still a great read)

If its historical facts then its not fiction. If you are just looking for a fictional book that is old try Moby Dick, or Robin Hood, or some of the fiction books that have been out a long time. Your librarian can help you when you get there.

Irving Stone's books are all historical novels about famous people. He wrote about VanGogh, Abraham Lincoln, Michelangelo, John Adams, Heinrich Schliemmer, Freud, and others.
R.F. Delderfield also wrote historical novels about England.

Answer 6

Well there is Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo...Anything by Dickens is historical fiction...

Answer 7

If you mean modern authors writing historical fiction, then I recommend Philippa Gregory or Antonia Fraser, they are very popular and best-selling historical fiction authors.

Answer 8
