Good Jewish fiction

Hi all, I’m taking an intro to Judaism class this spring. I was given a number of books to read. So far I have read most of The Sabbath, and parts of The Tapestry of Jewish Time, and To Be a Jew. They were very informative, but I have a hard time focusing on books that straight up tell you the facts. However, I love to read fiction and I think I would learn a lot from fiction by a Jewish author. In years past I read The Red Tent by Anita Diamante, Escape from Egypt by Sonya Levitin, and Number the Stars (the author Lois Lowry is I think not Jewish but has family). I also read Night by Eli Weisel. I think I’d like specifically to read books with emphasis on rituals and daily life.
