Love the above authors but have read all their books to date.

I think RT has a new hardback coming out soon but I can't afford that.

Any recommendations please on similar authors?

Curtis Sittenfeld, American Wife.
Audrey Niffeneger, Time Travellers Wife (if you somehow missed it previously!)

I love Rose Tremain and Kate Atkinson too. Would really recommend Brooklyn by Colin Tobin. Also Helen Dunmore - The Siege and House of Orphans.

I'm currently reading the second book in the Cazalet series and loving it.

Very different to Tremain and Atkinson but still has that same depth and richness.

HelenDunmore is one of my favourite writers. I was devastated to hear she’s died.
Love Kate Atkinson but only the Jackson books. The last one I didn’t enjoy at all however.
I love Joanne Harris.
Just finished House of Glass by Hadley Freeman. Very powerful memoir of her Jewish family.
About to read Small Treasures by Clare Chambers.

Small pleasures is so good- I've since read a couple of others by Clare chambers that were also excellent reads

Currently listening to the latest Rose Tremain.
Try A Single Thread by Tracey Chevalier.
Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers.

I'm another huge Helen Dunmore fan. Have read most Kate Atkinsons. Elizabeth Strout is worth checking out and I don't think yet mentioned on this thread. I quite like Jessie Burton too. I have her latest book, The Confession lined up on my bedside table to read next.
