Looking for Historical Fiction with a cast of memorable characters and where every chapter moves the story forward where you can’t put it down!
Pillars of the Earth did this for me. I loved every characters chapters and every chapter you just knew would push things in a new interesting direction. What other historical fiction novels are like this?

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
The Raj Quartet by Paul Scott
Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Shogun – seriously read this – James Clavell
The Vindolanda series by Adrian Goldsworthy
Edit: Almost forgot: The Longships by Michael Chabon – great Viking historical fiction.
Taipan , James Clavell . Much faster paced than Shogun. The Sharpe series Bernard Cornwell. The Marines W.E.B. Griffin
Check out Ariana Franklin’s work. Brilliant.
