@Past User - It's what Aidan said. I think what I like about it, is that it really highlights the impact that oppression and prejudice has on people in any form. I think it also helped me have more of an understanding of what racism could feel like, which fortunately hasn't been something I have experienced personally. It also has some really strong themes running through on love, both in terms of amorous, but also through friendship and family.
On book recommendations, in light of Dune movie coming out in December, I'd recommend those books. They can be farfetched and the series is long!
Otherwise, I also recommend Memoirs of Geisha, which is one of the most beautiful books I've read.
I have loads of other recommendations, so could keep going, but I'll space them out.
What's yours?
1974 so quite old, my dad read it when he was in school. Based in a post apocalyptic world. Love this book. There's a film too but it's very different to the book 🙃
I remember seeing the David Lynch film when I was about 9 and read the book at around 12. It was hard going. I re-read it again only a couple of years ago. It's a serious book.
I have so many fav books but if I had to pick one it would probably be The lovely bones, it's sad but so beautifully written
