Margaret George is an amazing author! She writes historical fiction, and has done The Autobiography of Henry VIII, The Memoirs of Cleopatra, Mary Queen of Scots and the Isles, Mary called Magdalena, and she just published Helen of Troy. If you like being submersed in a different time and culture, these books are for you!

"Katherine" by Anya Seton - Anything by Anya Seton is good, but this was her masterpiece... It's an intricate study of 14th Century England filled with wonderful, complex characters and probably the best love story I've ever read.
"Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon - Is a close second for "best love story." It is also full of characters you'd swear were real, and all the sights and sounds and (unfortunately sometimes) smells of 18th Century Scotland. This book is sometimes classified as a "romance novel," which does not do it justice. It turns all the conventions of the bodice ripper on their head.
"The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck - This is labeled a classic for a reason. The language and imagery are beautiful.
"The Chosen" by Chaim Potok - Ditto.
"Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson - This one isn't quite a classic yet, but it will be someday.
