Skeletons at the Feast by Christopher Bohjalian : great, especially if you enjoy WWII-era novels, basically about a group of diverse refugees trying to survive and moving Westward together from Germany (fearing both the Russian and German soldiers)
The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington: written almost a century ago, a great study on progress and transformation in mid-America
