Consider Kazuo Ishiguro. I've only read Remains of the Day, and that was because I liked the movie, but the book is basically flawless.
You need to read The Unconsoled. It’s my favorite book, period, but arguably his best. I stumbled upon it randomly in a used bookstore, not being familiar with Ishiguro, and fell in love with it. Ended up reading most of his others as well, and nothing quite stacks up to The Unconsoled—for my tastes. Remains of the day I actually put down, maybe I just wasn’t in the mood, but it didn’t grab me the way the Unconsoled did. But also recommend never let me go, when we were orphans, and the buried giant, for sure.
