I just finished reading the nightingale and absolutely adored it, I cried a few times and was genuinely dreading the end.
I love stories set in the middle ages, french countrysides, royal life etc… I love a book with some kind of mysterious or dramatic element.
Any recommendation of books you just could not put down would be appreciated though 🙂

Almost all of Guy Gavriel Kay’s work, starting with either Lions of Al Rassan(Spanish Reconquista) or Sarantine Mosiac(Byzantium during Justinians reign)
A Gentleman In Moscow or All the Light We Cannot See. You can’t see it, but my hand is over my heart cuz I swear to you these are two bangers!
Ken Follett’s historical fiction is all fabulous. Pillars of the Earth is the big classic, but the rest of the Kingsbridge series, as well as his standalone works, are all fantastic
Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
another lesser known historical fiction author i love is Colin Falconer. he writes some gritty af books that are fun to read. Harem is my personal fave by him.
Philippa Gregory – The war of the roses and the Tudor series.
I liked that it is written from the viewpoint of the women and not much gory details on the battles.
