I have been gifted a book token which means I can buy brand new books rather than scouring charity shops. I am looking for some recommendations. I enjoy the following authors; Barbara Kingsolver, Hanya Yanigihara, Murakami, Donna Tartt, John Irving, Amor Towles, Kate Atkinson, Anne Tyler and Ann Patchett to name a few.
Not so keen on crime, romance or historical fiction.
I’ve discovered several new authors from here so I have high hopes. Thanks.

I like many of the same authors as you and would suggest:

Jane Smiley's Hundred Years trilogy.

Gillespie and I and The Observations by Jane Harris

Sara Waters: Fingersmith and The Paying Guests (most of her stuff really)

The Shipping News Annie Proulx

The Invention of Wings Sue Monk Kidd

Music in the Dark Sally Magnusson

American Wife Curtis Sittenfeld

Small Things Like These Claire Keegan

Small Pleasures Clare Chambers

The Heart's Invisible Furies John Boyne

Earth and Heaven Sue Gee

I hope there are a few there you haven't read Smile
