Is there a (fiction) novel that is universally acclaimed and loved?

[JMSA]

Looking for book recommendations for a book group I've just joined. I'm a little nervous about putting forward my first title, as I really don't know these people very well. I'm thinking it makes sense to 'play it safe' with my first choice of book. It has to be fiction and not onerously long. Max 400 pages.
We've just finished Hidden Windows by Jason Rekulak.

Thank you very much

This thing of darkness
The Marlowe papers
An instance of the fingerpost

yes I nearly didn't finish it as the rest of the book was ok but I could take it or leave it, but that chapter is such a powerful bit of writing.

I think that makes it interesting for a book club though, gives you lots to discuss

I second this. It was recommended to me by my adult DDs and I loved it. So thought provoking and like nothing else I have ever read.

We didn't read this at book club but from me:
Another vote for "Piranesi" - really beautifully written, fairly short and quite random book which will get people talking.
Also, "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver.

Everyone at my book club - two English teachers, two academics and a doctor - absolutely hated "A Terrible Kindness". It's incredibly poorly written, the story is really disjointed, and there is zero nuance to the characters at all, especially he female characters.
