The Garret

I heartily second the recommendation for Palimpsest for you. It's the only one of her books that I've yet read, though I recently purchased another that I'm saving for, well, next week probably. (Although I actually had a rather unpleasant idiosyncratic reaction to Palimpsest that resulted in discomfort bordering on dislike, obviously I like her writing enough that I went right out and got her next book, and yes, I have reason to believe you really don't share that particular idiosyncrasy of mine. Not to mention I think you'll really like it, for all the reasons timeripple is saying and several more she's leaving unsaid.)
