Most of Mary Wesley's novels. I re-read them during Covid and they just took me away to another place.

I love the Miss Read books depicting a simple and caring community.

I adored Bella Figura by Kamin Mohammadi and read it again at any excuse. Worn down by modern life she escapes to Italy and falls in love with the place, the food, the people and starts a new happier, healthier life.

Anything by Anne Tyler, but especially The Accidental Tourist.

Any Alexander McCall Smiths - especially No 1 ladies detective agency.

My choice would be:

Notes from a Small Island - Bill Bryson
The Road to Little Dribbling - Bill Bryson
And then we came to the End - Joshua Ferris (sounds grim but it's a novel about the inanities of office life)
