My own book club read a lot of various works many of which you've listed. But my own personal favorite both to read and to talk about was The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyons. I'd tell you more about it, but you really should see for yourself...

My book club loved this one. I went to the website and got the recipe for potato peel pie. No one had the nerve to make it. (I'm not a great baker anyway, so I wasn't tempted.) I found maps showing the location of the Channel Islands, so everyone could see how much closer the islands were to France than to England. The discussion was great.
