Recently discovered Elizabeth Strout. Have read Olive Kitteridge and Olive Again and loved them. Am halfway through My Name is Lucy Barton and have got Anything is Possible, Oh William! and Lucy by the Sea lined up to read next.

Those of you who have read and loved her books, what else would you recommend?

Agree with the Elizabeth Taylor suggestion. Barbara Pym? Similar in some respects - an earlier era though.

Have you tried Sally Rooney?

If you don't mind going back into the past quite a bit, then maybe Elizabeth Taylor. She writes with great intelligence, insight, and close observation of everyday life. I love both writers, and I can similarities between the two.
