I'm having a hard time telling if you meant 50-100 pages, or 100-150 pages. Well, either way, here are some suggestions that aren't the same old-same old:

Foster, by Claire Keegan. Set in Ireland. Hope that's "English" enough. Anything by Ms Keegan is worth reading.

The End We Start From, by Megan Hunter

Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, by Max Porter

Train Dreams, by Denis Johnson

The Vet's Daughter, by Barbara Comyns

Reunion, by Fred Uhlman

A Month in the Country, by JL Carr

The 39 Steps, by John Buchan

If I think of any others, I'll add them later.
