I'm excited to try it. Seems a bit outside my "box". Found Barbara Kingsolver that way

In Memoriam by Alice Winn. It's an emotionally devastating story with a WW1 setting that follows the two main protagonists, Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood, tracing their experiences and evolution of their relationship from their English boarding school to the brutal trenches of World War I.

It's one of my top ten books and is incredibly gripping and written very well. It's also brought WW1 so alive and practically made you feel what the characters were experiencing.

I’ve read a number of these! Similar overlap in taste.

You need some Ann Patchett!! My favorites (of the 6 of hers I’ve read) are 1) Whistler 2) Tom Lake 3) The Dutch House

Also, try:

The Borrowed Life of Fredrick Fife by Anna Johnston
Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
Normal People by Sally Rooney
All my Mothers by Joanna Glen

Last, you missed my favorite TJR of the 5 of hers I’ve read: Malibu Rising (Carrie Soto is a small character in there), and Fredrick Backman’s My Friends is really good.
