Book recommendations needed-suddenly have lots of reading time ahead of me...

[DoItTooJulia]

Without going into too much detail, I'm off work for a while because my mums ill.

I have had a big reading hiatus but I'm back. Some things I have read and loved to give you an idea are-

Anything by Atwood
Anything by Kingsolver
I've enjoyed the Harold fry/queenie Hennessy books
The signature of all things
Allende (I think I've read all of them now)
Birdsong
Arthur and George
The Tea Planters Wife was ok
Sarah waters

I have got some books in my Amazon basket having been through a couple of the threads on here, like I am Pilgrim and the paying guest.

Recommendations gratefully received!

I liked Wild Swans too. The Lost Child of Philomena Lee is v v good (but might be a bit too emotive for you right now)
