Love the above authors but have read all their books to date.

I think RT has a new hardback coming out soon but I can't afford that.

Any recommendations please on similar authors?

The Penelopes - Lively and Fitzgerald. Barbara Pym, Olivia Manning, Joanna Trollope, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Elizabeth Taylor.

Jane Gardam certainly. Perhaps Barbara Trapido. Sarah Waters, Michael Faber and Mary Wesley. In the US maybe Jane Smiley, Anne Tyler and Annie Proulx.

Jane Gardam

Have you read Kate Atkinson’s Not The End of the World? (Short stories). I love that book and nobody has ever read it. Kate is one of my favourite authors - other suggestions are Joanne Harris and Sarah Moss.

I love Kate Atkinson and recently read my first Rose Tremain which I enjoyed. Other writers who I look out for, and have read most of their books, are Tracy Chevalier and Maggie O'Farrell.

I really like those two authors.
I would suggest "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles or "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. Other authors you might like are Julian Barnes, Kazuo Ishuguru or Daphne du Maurier. Maybe Jonathon Coe.
