What are some of your favorite period novels? I just watched Anna Karenina the movie and I am considering to read it. Maybe there are some great period/history novels you can recommend if I enjoyed movies such as Anna Karenina, Braveheart, The king, Sense and Sensibility. Just nothing set in America.

Pere Goriot, by Balzac, set in Paris in 1819, it’s the story of a student who has come from the countryside to find success in Paris. A lively, realist novel that makes both working class and upper class society come alive.
Madame Bovary, by Flaubert, set in a small town in France in the 1850s, it’s the story of a married woman who wants to escape from her mundane life.
