I read your OP and A Man Called Ove sprang to mind - spot on, roses ! I've given copies to several friends and recommended it to others (differing ages, both sexes) and without exception everyone has loved it as much as I.

An old favourite is Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith - very funny diary of a rather buttoned-up chap who writes about his family and friends.

A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman ( funny and moving at the same time, thoroughly enjoyable) The Shell Seekers by Rosamund Pilcher ( her best book) .

I'm going to be laid up soon after knee replacement. In between bouts of physio I'll really want some good reads. I plan to load up my Kindle for the duration.
Any suggestions? I don't like thrillers or anything involving jeopardy. Humorous entertaining books are good as are the occasional saga. I've loved some of the suggestions on similar threads: Tarquin Hall and Barbara Cleverly to name but two. Over to you..... (please!)
