I have read all of Diane Chamberlains books - her best IMO were Necessary Lies and her trilogy which began with Keeper of the Light, most of Jodi Picoult's titles her best The a Storyteller and some of See's titles. You are in for great reads with these books and I envy you for reading these for the first time.
