I'm glad you liked Hav, and Always Coming Home too. There's another one I've just thought of that you might like too: John Crowley's Engine Summer. Slightly unhelpfully, it only seems to come as part of a collection named Three Novels or Otherwise, so it's in a bigger book than necessary, but the other two novels are also worth reading. There's a lot of evocation of place, or perhaps of several different places, in another post-apocalyptic America, rather different from Le Guin's, but there are also plenty of other things going on: a puzzle, with pieces for the reader to find and assemble, and repeated allusions to the metaphorical theme of Indian summer.
