Erik Larson is narrative non-fiction — is that what you meant? His work definitely has a different feel than some of the books listed here. If you love, Eric Larson, the Nightingale will probably annoy you, because she has a gratuitous romance in every book she writes, complete with running into people and unlikely places, etc. That’s what some people love about her books, but it irritates me. I’ll check back in later with my recommendations both fiction and nonfiction.
I recommend you also post in r/nonfictionbookclub with basically the same thing you posted here.

Margaret George is my favorite historical fiction author. Try anything of hers except for Splendor Before the Darkness because that one is the second of her two-parter on Nero.

The Calculating Stars is an alternate Apollo program where they are trying to flee a dying earth. It’s quite good.
