Historical Fiction from around the world
These books are historical fiction from different area and time periods. I did not add WW2 books as they are already highly popular and I wanted to focus on lesser known time periods or countries in the genre. Please suggest similar books.

I suggest The Turkish Gambit by Boris Akunin and Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev (for Russian history).

May I recommend an Indonesian historical fiction novel? This Earth of Mankind (Buru Quartet #1) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Itâs set in Java during the colonial period in the 19th century.
