On a Downton Abbey kick right now, and I'd love to find books that scratch that same itch in terms of a large cast of fully realized characters with complex and varying interpersonal relationships.
I saw someone with a similar request receive Tolstoy's War and Peace as a suggestion, and it's moved way up my TBR as a result, but I'd also like something that's less of a tome, and possibly a little more modern.
But if a long classic fits the request, I'm still open to it. I realize to achieve that kind of web of characters, it helps to have a lot of space to do it in.
It doesn't necessarily need to be lit fic, any genre is okay, but lit fic is preferable.
