I am looking for recommendations for some good historical fiction books. I am mostly interested in books about mediaeval times or even earlier, as I find it fascinating to understand the struggles of the people back then, but I am also open to any suggestions if worthy.

If you want to go earlier still, I heard that the Earth's Children series is rooted in prehistoric archeology.

I read and really enjoyed this series recently. I loved the interactions between humans and Neanderthals and how the author described their cultures and views from the inside. Of course it’s very speculative but beautifully woven, fascinating and engaging.
