Can someone please recommend a wonderful book!

Something that will totally grip me straightway but thats also really well-written.
Thank you

Oh I do like a Sarah Dunant

Anything by kate Atkinson...but go for Behind the Scenes at the Museum.
We need to talk about Kevin
Revolutionary Road

A Fine Balance - Rohinton Misrty or The Hearts Invisible Furies would be my top two. Concur with Elizabeth Strout as a recommendation, too. Oh and The Night Circus if you haven't read it.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue! One of the best books I've read in years.

Alys, Always by Harriet Lane, and Her also by Harriet Lane.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis are two that I have just read and loved.
Both completely different though!!

I've just finished Moloka'i by Alan Brennert, wasn't a book I had ever heard of but picked it up in a charity shop...brilliant find, loved it from start to finish.

The Pillars of the Earth. Ken Follett.
The Coroner's Lunch. Colin Cotterill.

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver - Absolutely my best book so far this year. Agree with some of the others mentioned here, most notably American Dirt, The Heart's Invisible Furies, Blind Assassin and Alias Grace, all wonderful.

Thank you all!
Behind the scenes at the museum is a great book.
I've started American Dirt, absolutely gripped!

Anything by Sarah Waters, although my personal favourites are Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith.

I second Demon Copperhead; could not put it down. Kingsolver is brilliant generally.

All Donna Tartt - my fav is The Goldfinch. Read it almost in one go, couldn't put it down.
The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver
Strike novels - Robert Galbraith (aka J K Rowling)

For something lighter, but still really good and easy to get into, I'd look to Persephone Books. If you phone them they're usually really good at suggesting something :) Off the top of my head, my favourites are: Miss Buncle's Book, The Home Maker, Patience, The Priory, Milton Place...there are definitely more!

The vanishing of Margaret Small. If you have Amazon Prime, it's currently free.

Two I e read this year that I just couldn't put down were
The girl you lost
