Station 11 is also my best book of the last 10 years, although it’s taken on new meaning now that we’re living through a pandemic. I read it quite a few years ago but it has stayed with me. Amazing how she made a story about a pandemic so beautiful and touching. And the prose is simply the best. I’ve since read all of her other books and they’re sadly not even in my top 50 list - forgettable and unimportant. |

Pachinko American Dirt is controversial and maybe not the most amazing literary work, but the story really stuck with me Older than 10 years, but I still love and revere The Joy Luck Club and, from my murder mystery years, The Tin Roof Blowdown by James Lee Burke remains a favorite. |

I think Bel Canto is probably her best. All the Light We Cannot See---WWII book, but both magical and moving. |

Ironic that you said this because I was going to say Half A Yellow Sun. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is such a great writer. |
