The Bronze Horseman
1.  The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
The list author says:
  "The ONLY Book I've Ever Re-Read (twice!). I refer to it as THE Book. I read it in 3 days the first time. It's the kind of book you suffer withdral from. I wouldn't recommend the sequel though."
£6.29   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (124 customer reviews)

Anna Karenina (Penguin Classics)
2.  Anna Karenina (Penguin Classics) by Leo Tolstoy
The list author says:
  "A self-professed Russophile; I liked this one more than War and Peace. Interestingly, the Russian word for novel and the word for love affair is one in the same."
£6.99   Used & New from: £1.25
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (54 customer reviews)

Love in the Time of Cholera
3.  Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The English Patient
4.  The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
The list author says:
  "This was a last minute choice for a comparative essay assignment. In the end this one became my favorite. The movie doesn't do Ondjaate's lyrical prose justice."
£6.29   Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (37 customer reviews)

The Grapes of Wrath
5.  The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The list author says:
  "The other half of aforementioned assignment. To be honest my favorite part of this classic was the 3 page chapter near the start all about a turtle trying to cross the road"
£6.79   Used & New from: £2.26
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (106 customer reviews)

The Shadow Of The Wind
6.  The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The list author says:
  "A recent discovery. This has one of the most thought-provoking first lines I've come across in awhile. It is two coming of age tales bound by book. Enchanting and Engrossing."
£4.31   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (540 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Back Home
7.  Back Home by Michelle Magorian
The list author says:
  "A childhood favorite. Forgive me. An interesting twist on your usual WW2 evacuation tale. It's a teenage girl's Good Night Mr. Tom."
Used & New from: £0.05
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (36 customer reviews)
