Islandia, by Austin Tappan Wright - It's a fully realized fantasy world, except populated by humans. In fact, the fantasy is only a little removed from history as we know it, which makes the disconnect so familiar and likely that we fall into the story as if it were a feather bed.

The story itself gets a bit long winded, and the ending is abrupt; but the concept, wow. It just felt...right. I've come back to read again at least 3 times during my life.
