Hilary Mantel, a recent discovery for me, is a wonderful writer.

I also love Iris Murdoch, A S Byatt and Margaret Atwood.

Maybe a bit "lighter" but certainly not at all fluffy are Kate Atkinson and Elizabeth Jane Howard. These writers have the great skill of writing stories which can be achingly funny and profoundly sad at the same time.

And I find Anne Tyler's and Salley Vickers' books very gentle and wise.

All highly recommended and I hope you enjoy them if you try them.
