The Secret History
An author that I love and will read anything written by her is Donna Tartt. Her books are long and include details that may or may not always be relevant to the plot. But her plot and characters are some of the best. And The Secret History highlights her best tendencies and inspired a subgenre of its own.
Deacon King Kong
My favorite novel that I read this year is Deacon King Kong. It is a beautifully written novel that made me feel all sorts of emotions. The message of the novel is beautiful and it highlights when a community comes together and just how far a kind act can go.
