It's been a long time since I read it but I really enjoyed it. Also The memoirs or Cleopatra by Margaret George.

Love Memoirs of a Geisha. Alan Brennert is amazing too. I loved Honolulu and Moloka'i. I just read the Red Tent and it was very good! I'm embarrassed to say that most of the historical books I read are romance novels...

Loved this series and I was just thinking I need to re-read it since it has been 10 years since I read it.

For me it is anything by Susanna Kearsley. One of my favorites is Winter sea I also loved Shadowy horses. She is great for blending a bit of romance (not much) with history and a good story.

I also love Phillipa Gregory. She writes lots of good books about the past rulers of England.
