In short I am looking for well written novels set in 17th century Europe. The book does not have to be based on real events or people, but the worldview, details and overall background should be realistic and historically accurate.
No fantasy, horror, YA or romance, please.
I am especially keen on stories taking place in the continent, outside the UK and Ireland.
A special bonus thanks for books taking place outside the beaten path, for example places like Poland, Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, Romania, the Baltics, the Nordics, or for instance the Netherlands/Benelux area.
Another set of bonus thanks if the novel has been originally written in language other than English, and is available as an English translation.
