Can anyone recommend me some novels? Funny/feisty/feminist or insightful without being overly poncy...

I have a book token to spend but am just not getting grabbed by anything out there. I love Zoe Heller's books, also the two Jenny Eclair wrote, but I've read all theirs; I like Daphne du Maurier and my fave book ever is Jane Eyre. Have read all Margaret Atwood, Ian McEwan etc.

I don't like "poetic" and pretentious-style writing and wishy washy sentimentalism which seems to be in vogue and I'm not really into historical novels, especially set in wartime, and I don't like chick lit.

I wish I could just discover another Zoe-Heller-alike until her next one comes out... can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA
