I recently finished "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx. Excellent - and the movie is also great.
And yesterday I finished "The White Road" by John Connolly. His books run in sequence, with plotlines that run from the first one "Every Dead Thing", through "Dark Hollow" and "The Killing Kind" to "White Road". But you should only read those if you aren't freaked out by violence and horror. They are pretty strong in places.
