I agree with you about Kristen Hannah. The Nightengale is so different from her other books. I wish she would write more like it. The Women is ok but was still a bit of a let down for me.
Thank you so much for these recommendations. I just recently picked up Beneath A Scarlet Sky in a library sale! Another WW2 I read that was set in Italy was From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon. Ken Follet books intimidate me so thank you for suggesting some to start with.
I have From Sand and Ash on my shelf; I just need to get to it! Ken Follet books are long, but they tend to go really really quickly. He's great at getting you to turn the page.
Omg. I also struggle to like Kristin Hannah’s books. They are always so “doom and gloom”. I did not care for the Women however I have not read the Nightingale so thanks. I also screenshot a few others here to try. Thanks. Great video.
Thanks for watching! Yes, The Nightingale almost feels like an anomaly to me in terms of Kristin Hannah's work, as it didn't follow her typical tropes.
Ken Follett’s earlier work is quite good, but VERY different from these trilogies he has been cranking out. Two recommendations.. On Wings of Eagles is a nonfiction story of two American businessmen who were caught up in the Iranian Revolution and their escape from a prison in Tehran. And The Key to Rebecca which takes place during WW2. Both are real page turners.
I've read On Wings of Eagles and loved it! I will have to get to The Key to Rebecca, because for some reason I've never read that one. But my all-time favorite from Ken Follett is Pillars of the Earth. So good!

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in The Women. Yikes, lol!

Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I would love it if you could do a video on historical fiction books not set during wars?
That's an interesting one! So many historical fiction books are set during wars. I'll have to think about it!
Thank you.
❤📚📚♥️ Great recommendations!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Elizabeth Chadwick writes brilliant historical fiction
Thanks for the recommendation! I've never read her before :)
I didn’t love the women, it was decent and a time period I hadn’t read yet, but not my favorite of hers. I’m currently reading beneath a scarlet sky.
Yeah, the Women was not my favorite, either. I was pretty disappointed.
