Books like The Kite Runner, 1000 Splendid Suns and The Nightingale have taken me into the settings of the hardships that people have endured in specific parts of the world at specific times. Can you suggest me fiction books like these that are set around significant times in history? (Enough of Afghanistan and Second World War,)

A constellation of vital phenomena by Anthony Marra (Chechnya)
A farewell to arms by Hemingway (Spanish civil war)
Birds Without Wings by Louis De Bernieres is about the fall of the Ottoman Empire and it’s wonderful!
