I read Mary stuard by Stefan Zweig. He is a famous novelist but also wrote historycally correct biography books. He is very famous in Austria and his life story is also very interesting (he fled from the Holocaust) I really liked the book as he explored also what she might have felt during certain episodes of her life. book on amazon

I have watched the old North and South more than 15 years ago!

There's an interesting Reconstruction South saga about building a University in Tennessee that clearly draws heavy inspiration from the Kingsbridge books: These Hallowed Halls.

‘You can’t save someone from their own decisions.’

In the wake of a cold Victorian winter, Karl Scheffer and Esther Emerson discover an anonymous journal filled with strange passages and bizarre scribblings. The journal soon draws them into a covert and sinister conspiracy, a conspiracy centred around an otherworldly artefact with the power to change everything …

*

Karl and Esther have spent almost every day of their thirteen years in the quiet market town of Shraye. Stifled by their rural surroundings and frustrated by their unfulfilled ambitions, they find the allure of the journal’s mysterious pages impossible to ignore. The book seems to be beckoning them away from Shraye, away from their homes and towards the coast where an unsolved disappearance has set a dark chain of events in motion.

The voyage Karl and Esther soon find themselves undertaking is one of desperate importance and true peril. It will change the way they see the world, and each other, forever.

– Reading In The Sunshine

Written so lyrically and beautifully you will want to read it over and over again.

I was pleasantly surprised by a book set in Reconstruction South about the founding of a University called Sewanee. It was clearly modeled after Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth but deals with freed peoples and the southerners having to form a new relationship to build the institution. You can find it online easily enough but they recently turned it into a free audiobook.

Great performance by the narrator, you can find it here or just search for These Hallowed Halls or Missing Sock Network in any podcast service.

Occupied France, 1943. Returning home from the daily hunt for the rationed ingredients necessary to keep his family pâtisserie open, André Albert finds his four-year-old son in the street, his wife gone, and an emaciated Jewish woman cowering behind the display case.

It’s currently available through AMAZON in both paperback and Kindle editions.

I've noticed same across Historical Fiction in geral. Seems most book readers in HF are women? Also, I found it hard to find WWII stories not set in Europe. That's why I wrote this: it's definitely not a romance--Here's the blurb:

At the height of WWII, Japanese forces occupy the Korean peninsula. Hana and Jina Bak are Korean at heart but divided in their affections for their "new culture." It would be normal teenage behavior if they weren't trafficked into being "Comfort Women" for the Japanese military. The girls must learn how to navigate the rules of the comfort station, ally themselves with powerful friends, and resist the temptations many sex slaves succumb to. With a newfound appreciation for sibling relationships and devotion to ones' family, the girls must decide the best way to get home before they lose their lives, their sanity, and their very souls. In the vein of the Joy Luck Club, Creatures of Comfort imbues the reader with a sense of fate vs. will, good and bad luck, and family ghosts.

I had a hard time with this indie book --the process of it, and hard pressed for information so if you guys need any information from me, lmk! It's currently on Amz. for .99 cents just so I can get this baby out to the world. I didn't write it to make loads of money.

But I'd love for this subreddit to read and review for free on NetGalley if you're willing to set up an account: if you review books, are an educator or are in this industry. This subreddit would qualify because we discuss books I think! If this is not allowed on here, I understand, just trying to get the word out because I think the Pacific theater gets overlooked and this affected two generations of my family. thanks subredditors!

You should check out The Crown Holder. Pretty awesome historical fiction about Charlemagne and his heirs.

And the winner is the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare! Thank you all for the votes! Feel free to check out book 1 on Amazon!
