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

Yes! Also Commonwealth. I.will probably read Bel Canto before 2021.

Tom Hanks does a great job narrating The Dutch House FWIW.


I think Bel Canto is probably her best.

All the Light We Cannot See---WWII book, but both magical and moving.

Circe
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.

Really? The best book?


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.

Another vote for A Gentleman in Moscow -- quite apt at this moment in time.
