Lady Worsley's Whim, by Hallie Rubenhold (reviewed by me here). Fits pretty much everything you list except #5.

[sartorias]

THE MYRIAD by R.M. Meluch . . . or (non sf) GILEAD by Marilynne Robinson.

[burger_eater]

The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale.

[frigg]

Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov. Non-SF/F, straighforward language, odd. ;)

[horace_hamster]

Stacia Kane's "Unholy Ghosts" trilogy or Nicola Griffith's "Aud/The Blue Place" trilogy.

(oops, just saw that you said ONE more book, not three. Still, you can get the first one of either, as they stand alone well.)
