Jackie Collins books.

Anything by Sarah Walters
Got Fingersmith for Christmas. The Little Stranger and Affinity were good. Not quick reads but the character's complex.

Beloved by Toni Morrison was breathtaking.
Also Maya Angelou, biographical but fascinating life.

Brazzaville Beach - William Boyd
Restless - William Boyd
My Brilliant Friend and the Naples quartet - Elena Ferrante
The crimson petal and the white - Michel Faber

Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson. Absolutely bursting full of them!!

I always loved Whit by Iain Banks. Haven't re read it for ages but I remember as a late teen loving the fact that the female narrator was so proactive in her own interests .

We Need to Talk About Kevin
My Name is Lucy Barton
Best of Friends, Shamila Kamsie
Mrs Dalloway

off the top of my head.

My Brilliant Friend quartet - couldn't put it down.
