I read Rose of Sarajevo- love it and also read the last train to Istanbul over the last few days.
I had not heard about Ayse Kulin before and loved the books. I like books set in historical background - like a good story and also like to learn about that historical period.
Please can I have some suggestions what should I read next?

Placemarking, as I've also just finished Last Train. Is there a follow up story for the characters by any chance?

I'm reading 'The Alice Network' by Kate Quinn at the moment and really enjoying it. The narrative moves between World War I and the aftermath of World War II - a good story, engaging characters and historical setting so hopefully fits the bill!

How about:

A Disobedient Girl by Ru Freeman (set in Sri Lanka)

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks (17th century plague)

At the Bright Edge of the World (19th century Alaska)
