For my Child... Half historical, half modern day.

I enjoyed Libi Astaires books. You can get them as ebooks.

There's one about the churban. Very long. I think it was written within the last few years. Beautiful story ! Forgot the name. Also the series Let My Nation Live, it's not fiction but it reads like a novel.

Edit. I see some someone posted. It's Song of Redemption

The Last Slave is a unique book. I enjoyed it immensely although I couldn't read the graphic parts, it was too painful. Overall inspiring and gives you a feel for being in Egypt at the end of the galus there. Great ending. Heartwarming. But don't read the graphic details of the tortures. That part is unimaginably sad.

It completely changed my pesach experience.
Bonus, tons of meforshim and midrashim with sources.

Freefall is fantastic! It's set during WWII time period, but from an American perspective.
