I'm trying to find books on this topic for a book group. I first thought of They Came Like Swallows which I loved but it's about a pandemic and I want to avoid that. Most people have already read The Kite Runner and Room. Half have read Great Expectations and Oliver Twist. Some have read David Copperfield.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

TIA
