Need readable history recommendations please!

I'm reading Alexander Hamilton and while I am liking it I'm not going to be reading anything of that volume ever again I reckon!
But I've really got interested in the French Revolution and after, I read Tale of Two Cities recently too, so I'm looking for something very readable on that.

Also we're watching both Peaky Blinders and Berlin Babylon - both 1920s so anything about that time?

And finally my dad got me the largest ever book on Bletchley Park but I'd prefer something a bit easier to read!

Simon Schama's book on the French Revolution is fantastic. I think it's called Citizens.

For the 1920s, a book called Singled Out is a very good read. Link It is about the effect on that generation of women of the loss of so many young men, and how it changed their life chances, and opportunities, for good and bad.

Can any Mother Help Me? by Jenny Bailey is really interesting. It's about a correspondance group set up between women in the mid 20th century, so alleviate isolation. Absolutely fascinating and made me so grateful to have MN

I like the Liza Picard books
