This is interesting to me because I think we're in a great time for fiction. It's so much easier to find translations of books that would never have left their home countries before. More people are able to find audiences that might have otherwise been shut out of publishing their works for one reason or another.

Anyway, I'd say Olga Tokarczuk's The Books of Jacob or Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead might be considered up there. NK Jemisin's The Fifth Season, Clavell's Shogun would all be on my short list
