I have just finished American Wife by Curtis Sittenfield, and absolutely loved it - it got me thinking about my other all time fave books and I realise that they all follow a sort of formula - usually set in USA/Canada, telling the life story of a woman/women - these include:
The Stone Diaries - Carol Shields
Cats Eye - Margaret Atwood
The Diviners - Margaret Laurence
Ladder of Years - Ann Tyler
The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
Away - Jane Urqhart
So really, I wantto recommend these books to others, but also to ask for recommendations myself - ased on these, can anyone suggest any others I might like? TIA
