Or relatively modern day – unless it’s set in the country and time doesn’t have that much of an effect and feels like it could be the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s.
For a city-setting I guess 1990s and above.
I’ve always enjoyed Dahl books growing up, especially the ones with an English setting like Danny the Champion of the World.
Also really enjoyed the UK Television show “Detectorists”.

I love Ali Smith’s books! How To Be Both is so gorgeous, as is Autumn. Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad is amazing. Anything by Zadie Smith is great as well!
