The women by Kristin Hannah ? I have enjoyed all of her books however this was the first I came across. I absolutely loved lessons in chemistry.

The World According to Gaap by John Irving. A similar narrative style to the brilliant Lessons in Chemistry

The Names by Florence Knapp. I think you’d 100% enjoy this if you enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry.

Or put into ChatGPT the most favourite books you read and he (mine is male) will suggest some good options.

The same person who loaned me Lessons in Chemistry also passed on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid which I really liked.

Try ‘A Single Thread’ by Tracy Chevalier. I loved it and I loved Lessons in Chemistry too.

I am going to recommend the Correspondent by Virginia Evans- it's brilliant. (I also loved Lessons in Chemistry).
