Sorry, don't have authors for some.
The Virgin in the Garden, Still Life and the other 2 in the 'series' by AS Byatt are fairly weighty tomes but great
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is brilliant, but not his others (that I have read)
The Welsh Girl
Random Acts of Heroic Kindness
Memory Keepers daughter
Half of a Yellow Sun
Any Jane Austin, but especially Pride and Prej, Sense and Sensibility and Emma
The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency books are a good light hearted read
