Cracking good book.

Not to hijack the thread, but the English TV series ENDEAVOR really draws its characters exceptionally well....The BBC, in general, produces high quality shows.

Yes, that's a good one. Especially with its 20+ years time frame.

Sun Also Rises/Hemingway. Character development is about as good as it gets. One of the chief reasons it's considered enduring, brilliant fiction.
