Please recommend me a modern classic to read on my holidays please.

I really loved Memoirs of a Geisha when that came out and haven't really found a book I liked as much.The Help was also good.

I prefer books that are set in the past and educate me on what life was like (like the ones above). but I did like (not love) Eleanor Oliphant though.

Have you read To Kill A Mockingbird? That's a total classic.

I think Sorrow and Bliss will be a classic soon. I love it.

The Giver of Stars by JoJo Moyes might meet your brief.
