you maybe know this but posting jic: Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange just came out and it’s kind of a sequel to There, There?? I’ll be honest, haven’t read it yet and trying to avoid reviews, but it’s on my stack.
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid is fantastic. The story of two refugees fleeing an unnamed country, but has some elements of magical realism that really hit hard for me. short, but powerful.
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel does the multiple narrators/characters intertwining thing so well. still think about this one a lot.

I read this one because I was told station eleven was good, but was more interested by the description of this book. Now that I know I like the authors writing though I’ll be checking station eleven out soon. In Sea of Tranquility, you read a story that spans centuries, from the early 1900s, to the future spacefaring days. There’s something that ties these timelines together, and I was hooked from start to finish.
