The Quincunx by Charles Palliser could be just the thing to keep you going for a few weeks.

It is a big book (approx. 1200 pages), and should keep you entertained even after finishing it as it can be interpreted in many ways so you may find yourself reading some sections again.

From wikipedia

"The Quincunx (The inheritance of John Huffam) is the epic first novel of Charles Palliser. It takes the form of a Dickensian mystery set in early 19th century England, but Palliser has added the modern attributes of an unreliable narrator and an inconclusive ending. So, beyond a straightforward reading, the book offers the puzzle of extracting alternative underlying explanations of events.

The book charts the fortunes over a number of years of a single mother and her young son, John Huffam, through the eyes of the latter. There is a complex web of scheming and conspiracies between five families - The Huffams, The Mompessons, The Clothiers, The Palphramonds and The Maliphants - as they circle and maneuver around a fortune being determined in Chancery, and several wills (and one codicil) competing to be found valid. John and his mother fall from comparative wealth to poverty and eventual destitution before the prospect of his inheritance offers a change of fortune."
