You should definitely try Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel. Not only did it win the Man Booker Prize, it's also the first in a set of three. The second novel in the trilogy (Bring Up the Bodies) has just been published.
Her other books are also excellent, including A Place of Greater Safety, set during the French Revolution.
Another of my favourites is The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell (famous for Cloud Atlas). Wonderful.
I also like the historical crime novels of Stephen Saylor, set in Republican Rome.
If you like espionage or thrillers set before and during WWII, then you can't go past the superlative Alan Furst; start with Night Soldiers, one of the best books I've ever read. If you like that genre, let me know as I have plenty of recommendations.
