Historical and/or Literary Fiction

Some books I have recently enjoyed are The Covenant of Water, The Little Liar by Mitch Albom, The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, and The Beekeeper of Aleppo. Currently in the middle of There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak. Looking for similar reads - I love books about different times, cultures, and the human experience. (And I am not necessarily committed to the literary or historical fiction genres - I loved The Martian, not because it was science fiction, but because it was a gripping survival story. And The Night Ship by Jess Kidd was so beautifully written I couldn't put it down, even though I am not usually a magical realism fan) Any recommendations appreciated!
