Try Alsion Weir for historical novels although the period is Tudor and Elizabethan!. Innocent Traitor, The Lady Elizabeth and Elizabeth the Queen!.

Sarum by Edward Rutherford is a brilliant read too goes right back and put to 1980's if I remember correctly!.

For an early period in History try Ken Folletts Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, both are great to read too!.

Sorry can't think of one 1900's!Www@QuestionHome@Com

A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnely was REALLY good!.

"It is 1906 and Mattie Gokey is trying to learn how to stand up like a man -- even though she’s a sixteen-year-old girl!. At her summer job at a resort on Big Moose Lake in the Adirondack mountains, she will earn enough money to make something of her life!.

That money could be a dowry to wed the handsome but dull Royal Loomis!. It could save her father’s brokeback farm!. Or it might buy her a train ticket to New York City and college and a life that she can barely allow herself to imagine!.

But Mattie’s worries and plans are cast into a cold light when the drowned body of Grace Brown turns up – a young woman who gave Mattie a packet of love letters, letters that convince Mattie that the drowning was no accident!.

Inspired by the sensational Chester Gillette murder case of 1906, which was also the basis for Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy and the film A Place in the Sun, this story evokes novels such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women, and other classics that hark back to times of lost innocence!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
