One that is set in a historical period so accurately that the flaws in it are difficult to identify and refute. But it is not just a convincing period piece. It includes historical figures and events within the story itself. Historical novels often have the feel that the author is giving us the 'back story' that we always wanted to know. Examples are Aztec by Gary Jennings, and The Journeyer, by the same author, about the travels of Marco Polo. You could include novels like Ancient Evenings by Normal Mailer, about mystical events in ancient Egypt.

Is the book a breath of Eyre a historical fiction novel?

A Breath of Eyre is actually about a girl who gets transported during a lightning storm into the novel, Jane Eyre. The time spent in the novel feels historical since the book is set in 1847, but about two-thirds of the novel is set in Emma's contemporary world. So I wouldn't call it a historical, really. It's more of a contemporary novel with a historical time travel twist.
