Historical fiction that focuses on individuals?
Hey folks,
I was wondering if I could pick your brains and get some recommendations for history books/historical fiction that focuses on individuals? I'd love to learn more about history and find I tend to have an easier time learning about larger events through the lens of a persons/a few peoples lives and how it relates to them. I think when things are too large scope/big picture it loses me a bit. I'm particularly interested in the history of Egypt and India if narrowing it down helps but am open to anything.
In case it's useful I enjoy the podcast "You're Dead to Me", loved Horrible Histories when I was a kid, also absolutely love Terry Pratchett/Discworld (dunno how helpful that is but that's the kind of humour I enjoy)
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers!
