If You Like Lisa Jewell

Lisa Jewell's mainstream fiction, set in England, explores family, romance, identity, and coming into one's own. Her frequently eccentric characters are complex and have real emotional depth. She has a deft touch when it comes to writing from multiple perspectives, and does a wonderful job tying the characters' stories together. She has a sense of humor that often manifests as wit and lively banter in books that are at the same time emotionally intricate and truly moving. Her prose is engaging, and she tells a great story.
