I love history and historical characters from any country . My favorite book is The dream of the Celt and Heart of Darkness. Would you recommend more books similar to those please?
*Homegoing*, by Yaa Gyasi. This is a multigenerational family saga set in West Africa and the US across many years.
*The Evening Hero*, by Marie Myeong-Ok Lee. The point of view moves from the present-day US to South Korea during the Korean war. Really, really excellent for understanding more about the history of both countries.

Hi OP, I haven’t read those but three of my recent favorite books in this genre are
*Dust Child*, by [Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5046174.Nguy_n_Phan_Qu_Mai) . Relatively recent history set in Vietnam during and after the Vietnam war.
