Can anyone recommend any? I’ve decided I enjoy this genre! Have just finished The Husbands and want to read more parallel universe type books. Also really liked The Midnight Library.

The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas and the Night Circus by Erin Morganstern. My two favourites!

Languedoc Trilogy by Kate Mosse.

Beyond the Moon by Catherine Taylor.
Not the best written but a good story.

Would something like Outlander work, where key people travel between periods of history?

Piranesi was a good read!

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (Wayward Pines series is good too but not strictly parallel universe).

Kindred by Octavia Butler

His Dark Materials Series by Philip Pullman - a children's trilogy but very readable for adults.

On my 'to read' list is Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel and IQ84 by Haruki Murakami

Oh yes I forgot about Life After Life! I read that a while ago. But I don’t know The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and will find it - thank you!

Life after Life by Kate Atkinson is about a woman whose life resets when she dies.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Clare North is about people who are reborn after they die.

Both great reads.
