WJG Book Review

These are my top picks from the novels reviewed here.  They are listed in alphabetical order of author.

• Mansfield Park  –  Jane Austen
• High-Rise  –  J. G. Ballard
• The Quarry  –  Iain Banks
• A Month in the Country  –  J. L. Carr
• Heart of Darkness  –  Joseph Conrad
• Klara and the Sun  –  Kazuo Ishiguro
• Hot Milk  –  Deborah Levy
• In Ascension  –  Martin MacInnes
• Snow, Dog, Foot  –  Claudio Morandini
• Germinal  –  Emile Zola

Note: these are not necessarily the best works by these authors, and there are other author’s who would easily make this list if their best work had been reviewed here. 

There is no list of non-fiction works because the reader’s preference is likely to be driven more by the subject matter than the quality of the writing.
