Can someone recommend a really good book for my holiday?

[Anothernamechangeplease]

I need something to read on my holiday - preferably on my kindle, but doesn't have to be. Ideally I'm looking for a novel, but I would definitely consider non-fiction if anyone has any really good suggestions.

If it's a novel, I want something that I can really get into. Not interested in anything too trashy - I want something that is genuinely well written and that has some actual depth to it, characters that I can get invested in. Ideally something that makes me think while also evoking an emotional response. Nothing too hard to read though (ie no James Joyce style text to wade through...I have adhd and can struggle to maintain attention in the early stages of a book until I'm hooked, and then I can't put it down.) Happy for it to be a classic or something more modern.

A random selection of books I have previously enjoyed (in no particular and definitely not an exhaustive list):

All Jane Austen (especially P&P, Persuasion)
Lots of Dickens (especially Bleak House)
Some George Eliot (especially Middlemarch)
Turgenev - Fathers and Sons
The Book Thief
Half of a Yellow Sun
Purple Hibiscus
The Kite Runner
A thousand splendid suns
Elizabeth is missing
Captain Correlli's Mandolin
Northern Lights trilogy

What books have you really enjoyed, and what would you particularly recommend?

TIA!

Paper Palace would be a good holiday read...

Circe - Madeline Miller
Daisy Jones and The Six - Taylor Jenkins Reid
Domincana - Angie Cruz

Not new books, but have you read Brick Lane by Monica Ali and The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold?

An American Marriage
Still life (99p on kindle)
If you like corelli, try the South American trilogy
Which takes me to: the house of spirits, isabelle allende
The Dry
Rivers of London
Learwife
Utopia Avenue- David mitchell. A kind of imagining of 1960s band life with nods to the stones and Fleetwood mac.

Based on your list I would say.
Woman in White and the Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier.
Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte.
anything by Barbara Pym who I think is like Jane Austen but set in the mid 20th century
Possibly Antony Trollope's Barchester series

Ive recently loved:

Still Life - Sarah winman
Light perpetual - Francis spufford
Life after life/ a God in ruins - Kate Atkinson
Miss Benson's Beetle - Rachel joyce
Small pleasures - clare chambers

I read the Lincoln Highway on my holiday and absolutely loved it.

It wasn't what I was expecting it to be.

The Enchanted April.

Agree, also read and enjoyed this.

Lessons in chemistry is brilliant

sorrow and bliss

chalet or chateau for page turners?

Another vote from me too! Also Daisy Jones and the Six and Malibu Rising.

Another vote for Circe. The Song of Achilles, also by Madeline Miller is brilliant too.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz (Heather Morris) is very good too.

Ive just read american dirt by jeanine cummins - long but very good and a page turner

And the mountains echoed (same author as kite runner and thousand splendid suns)

I’ve never read a disappointing Anne Tyler novel. Likewise Elizabeth Strout.

A little more low brow but I loved the Cicero books by Robert Harris.

I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie - currently reading Murder in the Caribbean which I started on holiday

Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer. Best I've read in years.

The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley was one I particularly enjoyed and found hard to put down.

Enjoy your holiday!

I'm currently reading Lessons in Chemistry which is bloody marvellous!
Life after Life
Home Going by Yaa Gyasi was one of the best books I've read for years
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent is absolutely amazing, but harrowing - not necessarily a holiday read but definitely needs to be read!

Non fiction

The Salt Path and The Wild Silence by Raynor Wynn
Traces by Patricia Wiltshire
Windswept and Interesting, Billy Connolly’s autobiography

I'm enjoying 'the book of form and emptiness' at the mo

Still Life by Sarah Winman - just wonderful!

I feel you have probably read The Handmaid's Tale but if you haven't, it's a brilliant holiday read. I started it on an overnight flight and I was so desperate to keep reading I managed to stay awake all through.

Likewise if you haven't read Life after Life, it's absolutely great.

I've also had amazing holiday experiences with Peter Ackroyd's biography of William Blake and bizarrely, The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing, though I think it would infuriate me now.
