Arthur Golden recommends
A Conspiracy of Paper (2000) (Conspiracy of Paper, book 1) David Liss "A tale of 18th C. finance, murder & religion that is a remarkable debut & a thoroughly satisfying novel." | The Dearly Departed (2001) Elinor Lipman "Elinor Lipman is that rarest of things, a charming and funny writer who is also very wise. " | The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2003) Mark Haddon "I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable." | |
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2005) Lisa See "Only the best novelists can do what Lisa See has done, to bring to life not only a character but an entire culture, and a sensibility so strikingly different from our own. This is an engrossing and completely convincing portrayal of a woman shaped by suffering forced upon her from her earliest years, and of the friendship that helps her to survive." |
