A couple that I loved, contemporary.

The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. Main character is a young girl, but she comes across a PERSON.

The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt. About an unusual mother and her relationship with her young son.

Possession by A.S. Byatt. Oh dear god, I love this book but more importantly I love the women in this book.
Anything by Margaret Atwood, although OUCH!. Octavia Butler's Dawn

Possession is one of my favourite books EVER, and both Maud and the poet (Cristabel, was it?) are wonderful characters.

And the Attwood rec? Definitively seconded. The woman is incredible.
