Jane, I wholeheartedly second Mary Doria Russell’s The Sparrow and its sequel Children of God.

I would also like to nominate Elizabeth Knox’s Dream Duet: The Rainbow Opera/Dreamhunter and Dreamquake.

For worldbuilding, I love A Door Into Ocean, by Joan Slonczewski, though it’s probably the best known of her books.

Again, probably not obscure enough, but Mary Doria Russell’s The Sparrow is superb.

Jody Scott, I, Vampire I still think the first book (Passing for Human) was better. Even though I, Vampire has Virginia Woolf. But we can propose both: they're sequels, in a kinda way...
