I mainly read non- fiction, but would love to read more fiction. I struggle with "clever" writing, I just love good stories, ideally set in the past.
Previous favourites include:
Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard
All of Nancy Mitford's work
Crimson, Petal and the White by Faber
Pillars of the Earth and the Century Triology by Ken Follet
Most Jeffery Archer while travelling
Any ideas of what else might suit? I'd love to read something slightly more highbrow, but that I could still get lost in.
Enjoyed reading most of Austen and Gaskell when I was younger, but wouldn't want to reread them.
Thank you!
