A Listmania! list by Crimson Petal
 
The Crimson Petal and the White
1.  The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber
The list author says:
  "One of the most fantastic books I've ever come across - 200 words is not enough to describe how much I love this novel. Riveting, ambitious and simply amazing."

The Apple
4.  The Apple by Michel Faber
The list author says:
  "Faber has said that he won't do a sequel to The Crimson Petal, much to my dismay, but this is a brilliant companion, and nowhere near as huge. Some important mysteries not resolved though."

Rebecca (Virago Modern Classics)
5.  Rebecca (Virago Modern Classics) by Daphne Du Maurier
