I love a good non Jewish novel. Trying to wean myself off and try some Jewish ones. Would love some recommendations.

I like Grisham, Baldacci, d chamberlain, Kristin Hannah, h coben.. to name a few.

Thanks

M. Keinan has awesome books.
I'd recommend her Wildlands
The rest are also very awesome but better in Hebrew

This isn't exactly a "Jewish novel" but it almost qualifies and I'm obsessed with it so here goes :

"The Matchmaker's Gift" by Lynda Cohen Loigman

Ruthie Pearlman's early detective books are very in that mystery thriller style. And all her books are good.

Lynda Cohen Loigman are not religious if that's a factor, but good. In that line is also Faye Kellerman where the characters are Jewish but not that frum.

The Happiness Cipher I believe is the South Africa historical one. 10/10 for different and surprising if that's what you're after.

Fish I think is called A Veiled Truth. Very different style, lots of humor but with deeper human elements behind that, contemporary setting.

Libby Klein - if only and even there even now - was very affected by them
Eg Schwartz books - full harvest shortchanged and the chanuka book
M kenan
Song of redemption Zacharya Hoffman

Thanks for verifying that.
I've read all of her books that I could get my hands on & my parents have a subscription for Bina so I read a few that aren't books yet

Really appreciate her writing
