The fact is that books about daily life in general tend to be generalizing and vague and not very good as sources (although they can be entertaining reads). You would probably do better to read about a number of different topics that intersect with the subject of your novel.

Some books I'd recommend that might fall into that category:

Karl Ittman, Work, Gender, and Family in Victorian England (Palgrave Macmillan, 1995) - Like most academic books, the title says it all. Are you interested in social class and mobility? Organized labor? How the textile industry in Britain changed during this period? Family life in the urban working class? There's so much here.

Jeremy Zallen, American Lucifers: The Dark History of Artificial Light, 1750-1865 (University of North Carolina Press, 2019) - Lighting is something people rarely think about in much detail beyond "candles were expensive, and then they had oil lamps". This book deals not just with the technology of artificial light, but also everything it touches, like slavery, labor, class, urban vs rural life, gender ...

Judith Giesberg, Army at Home: Women and the Civil War on the Northern Home Front (University of North Carolina Press, 2009) - People talk generally about "the home front" in various wars, but in pop culture we rarely know about it beyond some vague stereotypes. This book really talks about how women entered the workforce in the 1860s, how they were displaced from their homes, and how they actively engaged with the conflict.

Nancy Grey Osterud, Bonds of Community: The Lives of Farm Women in Nineteenth-Century New York (Cornell University Press, 1991) - This might come the closest to a "daily life" book, but it still has a tight focus on social networks between women and between men and women in a region of upstate New York. (It would be reasonable to extrapolate from that to other rural areas.)

If you can give more detail about the time and place you're writing about, I could probably offer more targeted recommendations.
