Hi.
I'm an avid reader. I really enjoy reading fiction books with multiple POV's and family relationships. Here are a few books I've read recently which I really liked:
The Man I Think I Know by Mike Gayle
A Casual Vacancy (I'm not really into fantasy, but think Rowling did a great job with this realistic work)
The Dales series by Gervais Phinn
Things I Want my Daughters to Know by Elizabeth Noble
Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
The Bad Mothers' Book Club by Keris Stainton
The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell (I'm more of a fan of her earlier books like this one)
Most books by Susan Lewis
I'm currently reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley and liking it a lot. I would love some ideas on what I could read next.
Thanks.

Picking up on Gervase Phinn, have you tried any books by Jack Sheffield? He has written a series set in the 1970's and 80's about a headmaster at a village school near York. They are written in a similar, gently humourous style to the books by Gervase Phinn. Best read in order the first one is called Teacher, Teacher.

Ask again, yes by Mary Beth Keane

Thank you so much for the recommendations. I believe I read the first Jack Sheffield last year, and had meant to look into the others. And I'd never heard of Mary Beth Keane until now, but I looked up Ask Again Yes and it seems like just the type of book I'd read.

Also, I have a question about Jack Sheffield's books, just curious. Are they fiction or memoir? I think I've seen them classed as fiction online, but IIRC he used himself as the main character.
