The Blue Flower (1995)
Penelope Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald's final novel is frequntly cited as her masterpiece. It recreates the life of the 18th century German poet and philosopher Novalis, focusing on his romance with a 12 year old girl.
That They May Face the Ricing Sun (2001)
John McGahern
A study of rural community in Ireland, the changing seasons and the gradual creep of madernity. A genre-bending fiction that incorporates memoir, history, folklore and a therapeutic reprise of the author's own career.
The White Hotel (1981) DM Thomas

Some of my favorite books are "Sometimes I think I hear my name" by Avi and "Tina Gogo" by Judie Angell. I have read both of these books more than 3 times!

My favourite book must be "A woman of Substance by Brabra Taylor Bradford. there is I think four books in the series.
It is about a poor girl who makes it good and makes a huge big empire for herself. She starts life as a servant and has to leave as she is having a baby and the father of her baby is the master's son.
It has been put onto video but I haven't watched it as I have all the characters in my head and what I thnik they should look like so to watch the video would spoil the story for me.
