Secondhand Literary Fiction Bargain Book Box SP2901

Literary fiction from six countries across three decades — twenty-one novels that take the full measure of contemporary life, from Margaret Drabble's collected stories to Amos Oz, Doris Lessing, and a debut that will be talked about for years.

1. Men, Women & Children — Chad Kultgen — a sharp, darkly comic novel of suburban American families and the screens that now mediate their lives.
2. 8 Lives of a Century-Old Trickster — Mirinae Lee — a heartbreaking and inventive debut from a Korean-American writer.
3. Three Women — Marge Piercy — Piercy's generous, politically alive novel of three generations of women and what they owe each other.
4. Seeing George — Cassandra Austin — a novel of art, obsession, and the paintings we can't stop looking at.
5. The Time We Have Taken — Steven Carroll — a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel set in the Melbourne suburb where time itself seems to pause.
6. Consolation — Anna Gavalda — the international bestseller of people finding each other in the wreckage of ordinary life.
7. Incomparable World — S.I. Martin — a remarkable historical novel of Black loyalists in late eighteenth-century London.
8. Of Blessed Memory — Erica Jong — Jong's richly autobiographical novel of family, survival, and the stories that hold us together.
9. Stella Descending — Linn Ullmann — the Norwegian novelist at her most spare and devastating, a novel of a family falling apart.
10. Love in a Blue Time — Hanif Kureishi — a collection of short stories from the author of The Buddha of Suburbia, at the height of his powers.
11. Between Friends — Amos Oz — Oz's linked stories of a kibbutz community in 1950s Israel, intimate and unsparing.
12. Alfred & Emily — Doris Lessing — Lessing's final major work: a novella imagining the lives her parents might have had without the First World War, then a memoir of who they actually were.
13. Music and Freedom — Zoë Morrison — the debut novel from an Australian writer, a story of music, marriage, and a voice that refuses to be silenced.
14. Novel — Ethan Grout — a novel by the Australian writer.
15. Private Life — Jane Smiley — marriage can sometimes be the loneliest place: Smiley's quiet, devastating novel of a woman who chose wrong and learned to live with it.
16. A Day in the Life of a Smiling Woman: The Collected Stories — Margaret Drabble — the complete short fiction of one of Britain's most significant novelists, gathered in one volume.
17. This Is Paradise — Will Eaves — a formally adventurous novel from the author of Murmur.
18. Girl One — Sara Flannery Murphy — your birth was humanity's greatest breakthrough; your life is its biggest threat. A thriller of science, sisterhood, and the daughters who refuse to disappear.
19. The Pepper Gate — Genna de Bont — a novel about truth and denial and who we choose to love.
20. The Wise Women — Gina Sorell — a novel of family, identity, and the women who shaped us.
21. The Well — Catherine Chanter — so astonishingly good that critics wondered if A.S. Byatt had adopted a pseudonym: a novel of a drought, a cult, and a woman on trial.
