Chalice, Sunshine, and Tehanu

The term I heard years ago for this kind of story was "domestic fantasy," which I fell in love with quickly as a term for stories centering the home and often women's everyday lives. Jo Walton's Lifelode is another I'd put into that category, or UKL's Lavinia. I love those books, and though they do match the description of cozy fantasy in some ways, I do think that cozy implies an upbeat cheer that domestic doesn't require.

I love both, actually--reading about good people having an easy time is sometimes valuable--but they are separate likes for separate moods, and I'd love to see more rich domestic fantasy. Recommendations welcome!
