Anna Karenina. Just a woman struggling to conform to a society that is more about social status and not about love. Although in current society it may not be the best read since her way out of a horrible life is suicide.

Stein und Flöte (the Stone and the Flute) by Hans Bemmann.

Playing in an medieval setting, it combines an antihero's journey (with the main character being a young man who makes many fateful mistakes on his way) with elements of high fantasy, fairy tales and mythology.

I simply love it to pieces.

Catch-22 written by Joseph Heller. Took him 8 years to write it and every page is worth reading and re-reading. It's dark but funny. So many characters, so many different lives in a war. It's not an easy read but you won't regret it if you can go all the way.

Echo!
heres the discription
In ECHO, author Pam Muñoz Ryan strings together three very different stories of young people facing injustices, all of which are tied together by a fantastic prophecy and a magical harmonica. In Germany in the 1930s, Friedrich's father is arrested by the Nazis and sent to a labor camp after having a Jewish friend over to play music with him. Friedrich, also a talented musician, fears he will have to be sterilized, and perhaps even euthanized, because of a birthmark on his face. In Pennsylvania during the Great Depression, Mike and his younger brother are living in an unloving orphanage where they're hired out to work and must wear raggedy clothing. They're adopted by a strange rich woman, but when they learn she might be sending them back, Mike must make plans for them to stay together. Then, in the 1940s, Ivy moves with her farmworker family to Southern California, but once there she learns she must attend the inferior school for Mexicans. She also learns about the injustices suffered by Japanese families, such as the farm's owners, who are sent to live in internment camps. All the main characters have musical ability, and when they're playing a magical harmonica they feel better about themselves and inspire others with the beauty of their music. Eventually readers learn more about how their interwoven stories connect.

It’s hard for me to choose, but one of my favorite books is Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase. It alternates between first- and third-person POV to tell the story of two sets of people in two very different circumstances. The chapters set in the past are narrated by a young British girl and chronicle her family life, including the death of her mother and the aftermath. The chapters set in the present switch to third-person to tell the story of a woman and her fiancé searching for a wedding venue and finding the hall. Along the way, she uncovers its history, as well as the history of the people who lived there.

I most often return to "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon" and its sequels by Spider Robinson. It's a collection of short stories about an alien who must destroy earth and feels just terrible about it, a talking dog who pines for someone to talk with, an intergalactic travelling salesman (who gets tripped up by the Farmer's daughter), and others who wander into a particular Long Island bar. It's all wrapped up in tall tales, dreadful puns, and life-changing compassion.
