I think Ishiguro should be represented on this list FOR SURE. I'd personally recommend adding The Remains of the Day - it's the definition of a quiet novel that leaves you absolutely devastated. I think Never Let Me Go would also qualify, but I feel like it's not nearly as "quiet", if that makes sense? But yeah, I wanted to rec The Remains of the Day!
Also, different point, but I wanted to add to the conversation regarding whether A Little Life should be on the list. I think "quiet" novels are mainly constructed against the idea of spectacle (as in, they shy away from it), and I think A Little Life very much utilizes spectacle and, for that reason, doesn't fit this list at all. Just wanted to throw that in since I was commenting anyway lol
