Could you suggest a good historical fiction book?

I loved Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. But, I'm having a hard time finding historical fiction that really stacks up to these! Any suggestions?Could you suggest a good historical fiction book?

I don't really know that book. But I DO know that I love this one book:



The Sherwood Ring



It's an easy read, but it's amazing. It takes place in the Revolutionary War period (actually, I think it's flashbacks... but the R. War is the period it talks about)Could you suggest a good historical fiction book?
umm... if you like greek gods and such you could read the percy jackson and the olympians series. it's really interesting.
Well, I loved this one book called The Tin Princess By Phillip Pullman, it was absolutely amazing, but compared to Pillars of the Earth it might seem like a book for younger people (although, again, I liked it very much)

The Sevenwaters Trilogy



which inclues:

*Daughter of the Forest

*Son of the Shadows

*Child of the Prophecy





****Includes Celtic myths/stories. Setting is in Ireland. Highly recommend***
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexadre Dumas
You might like Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It is the story of King Arthur told from the perspective of the women involved.

I suggest Trinity by Leon Uris, which is set in Ireland between the period of the famine of the 1840s and the Easter Rising of 1916. The Once and Future King by T.H. White chronicles the raising and education of King Arthur, his rule as a king, and the romance between his best knight Sir Lancelot and his Queen Guinevere, an excellent book, though more fantasy than historical.



These are my two all time favorite books, I hope you will give them a try.
