I just thought of some more of my favorites, A Map of the World by Jane Hamilton. She wrote The book of Ruth also, it was good but, A Map of the World was sooo good. A hard subject, but her writing in it was just beautiful. I've been too chicken to read Poisenwood Bible, but Prodigal Summer by Kingsolver was really good. Rosemunde Pilcher's The Shell Seekers, I loved, read it decades ago, but have also listened to it and I still enjoy it. Thank you everyone for this, I love recomendations for books.
