Best Selling Historical Fiction Novels For Adults

By Michael Bailey


A good book will change your life forever. On the other hand, well written historical fiction novels for adults make you feel as if you have packaged your bags and made a voyage around the world and back in time. There are authors who have mastered this art of writing and will take away your breath with every word. Here is a look at some of these writers and their classic titles.

The Help opens up with the 1962 gender perception where the highest accomplishment for women was having a ring on your finger. However, Karthryn Stockett presents the story of three women, Skeeter, Aibileen and Minny. Each has a unique life path. One is the daughter of a boss fed up with the hawk eyed mother. Aibileen is tasked with taking care of her yet she has own challenges to deal with. Minny is notorious by all standards but her salvation lies in finding a new boss who also has skeletons in his closet.

Anthony Dorrer is the pen behind All the Light We Cannot See. The novel is set in France, a territory that is already occupied during war. A German boy will meet a blind French girl and fall in love. The physical descriptions used by Anthony and the metaphors give you a live feed of the risk that these two characters have to face to stay together.

During war, all enemies are supposed to be revealed. However, Vianne is in a unique situation as Kristin Hannah narrates in The Nightingale. She has an enemy under her roof. This spells doom for the two every day of their life. She begins making a series of mistakes that have to be resolved in one way or the other. This story captures incidences that put people in tight positions that only they can understand.

Memoirs of a Geisha points at a story with Japanese taste. It is the work of Arthur Golden who takes you to a world where the virginity of women is auctioned to the highest bidder. To the society, a woman is as good as her appearance. Love is considered an illusion. Arthur has gifted readers with a new version of erotic scenes, romance and world class suspense.

Women have not always enjoyed the privileged place they occupy today. The Invention of Wings is a best seller on the daring spirit of women and hope for freedom. Sarah feels a calling to do great things in the world. However, the female stereotype holds her back. This is a journey through women rights and liberation movements.

Anita Diamant in The Red Tent takes you to the bible to read about the character Dinah. The character of Dinah is hashed compared to the prominent persons like Jacob and Isaac. It is about early womanhood and how it is lost in the patriarchal narratives that permeate religious teaching. You will get a renewed view of women and womanhood, different from what is captured in the bible.

With numerous titles on history, you have something exciting for different themes. Passionate readers have written dependable reviews that will guide you on the titles that suit your preference. These books are available in stores as digital versions and hardcover copies. This is the best trip down memory lane.
