The list is ridiculously huge. Could you narrow it a little? A style, genre, time period or more specific location maybe ?
Otherwise I’ll just pick a really great author at random: Charles Dickens. He has a plethora of great novels, but again I’ll pick one at random: Great Expectations. Synopsis: you follow the main character, Pip, from childhood to adulthood as he makes his way through early to mid 1800s Southern England.

[‘North and South’](https://www.waterstones.com/book/north-and-south/elizabeth-gaskell/angus-easson/9780199537006) by Elizabeth Gaskell is my personal favourite 🙂 For a modern classic, [‘A Kestrel for a Knave’](https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-kestrel-for-a-knave/barry-hines/9780141184982) by Barry Hines.
