Book recommendations

[lovemy2babies]

Hi
I havnt read anything for a while and would love for some recommendations.
I enjoy classics like Anna karenina, madam bovay, Tom sawyer.
I'm open to suggestions apart from chick lit.

Thanks in advance

How about the Millenium Trilogy? Quite different from your usual favourites but all 3 books are fantastic. Also try The Time Travellers Wife or any of the C.J. Sansom Shardlake novels

Have you read The Help, its fantastic. Set in the Deep South in about the 1950s, maybe a bit earlier.

Try Dorothy Dunnet's "Lymond Chronicles" (6 books in series and her "House of Niccolo" series (8 books). Wonderful!

The Balkan Trilogy by Olivia Manning
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky.
The First Circle, Solzhenitsyn.
Both 'classics' that are quite easy to read.

I really enjoyed Kristin Lavrans' daughter

The Island by Victoria Hislop
The Return by Victoria Hislop

The Return... I honestly started reading it the saturday morning and finished it late that evening i couldnt put it down. A brilliant book. Very well written. Even though its an adults book my daughter 13 at the time also read it and thought it was excellent though she found the othe book The Return not as good and she gave up part way through (highly unusual for her)
The Return ...another briliiantly wrote book by Victoria Hislop but the descriptions did seem to go on and on and on a bit in this book the book didnt seem to move fast enough for me personally in comparison to The Island.

The Childrens Book by A.S Byattes she wrties in a classic sort of style and this book is fairly sprawling and gives a really indepth look at society,family and politics during the Edwardian time time period.

Or

Remarkable Creatures by Tracey Chevailer a fictional account on Mary Anning one of the first female palaeontologist.

That shpuld have been A.S Byatt

Beloved by Toni Morrison & Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
