.. what else would I like?

I have read most of Elizabeth Strouts books and really enjoyed her story telling. Am looking for something similar, I found I could read it at bedtime- so something relaxing for bed time reading too would be welcomed!

Try Laurie Graham.

Thanks Laurie Graham looks promising! She has 35 books.. any recommendations for me to begin with?

My personal favourite is The Future Homemakers of America but I also like her European historical novels.

I , too, like Elizabeth Strout.I also enjoy Curtis Sittenfeld, Alice Monroe and Carol Shields.

Anything by Anne Tyler.

Barbara Pym. I’ve just finished Excellent Women and its similar in style. A nice cosy read.

Elizabeth Strout has two more
Oh William
Lucy by the Sea
She is one of my favourite writers.

Thanks everyone, I will check these recommendations out.

@junebirthdaygirl i have read most of her books. So sad! I am saving Lucy by the sea and then I have one more book
of hers to read then I’m done- no more of her books- weep!

A Man called Ove is lovely - not totally similar but really good and a similar older person vibe

Ann Patchett, Lily King, Sue Miller, Carol Shields, Miriam Toews, Mary Beth Keane.
