William Boyd's Restless? Tis not heavy, might be a bit too light for you (?) but it's a good read.

If you like Fingersmith, you might like Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Very explicit novel about rise and fall of Vistorian prostitute in London. Absolutely stonking, IMO.

Hmmm, Anne Tyler?

I'm not best qualified to recommend, though, I think I tried to read Kate Atkinson and failed, don't remember Jonathan Coe that well (although have read one), and wasn't impressed by Sarah Waters ...
