Historical Fiction Recommended by Historians

"The fact is that, when they're done well, historical novels are a really exciting way to learn about history, because they combine the emotional involvement of fiction with the narrative of events that took place and details of how life was lived in the past. For that reason, we're always excited when a historian chooses a work of historical fiction as one of their expert recommendations. Below, we've listed all the historical fiction that's been recommended by historians (or other experts) as shedding light on their area of expertise." ~Five Books
