Sarum by Edward Rutherford is historical fiction. It follows several families throughout centuries in England, beginning in time when the island was still connected to the mainland. I read it after a visit to England, when all the sights were still strong in my mind, and this book explained the why’s, who’s, and how. He’s a wonderful story teller and paints beautiful pictures for your mind. He has many other history fiction also.
Another old author is Wilber Smith. Exciting, historical fiction.
