Sure. '1984' by George Orwell is a classic. It presents a dystopian society where the government controls every aspect of people's lives, and there is no real hope for freedom.

And 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck shows the harsh life of migrant workers during the Great Depression, with a lot of suffering and a rather bleak outlook.
Sure. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee can be considered in a way. Scout's relationship with her father is well - known, but her Aunt Alexandra also plays a role similar to that in mama fiction as she tries to impose certain values on Scout related to being a proper girl in the South. And then there's 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison, which deals with the complex relationship between a mother and her daughter, as well as the trauma of slavery that affects motherhood.
Sure. 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' by Wallace Stegner can be considered in this category. It touches on Mormon themes and the experience of living in a Mormon - influenced community.
