Answer 3

Cry to heaven by Anne Rice....Spartacus by Howard Fast(outlawed during the Mccarthy era).....The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas, who also wrote the Three Musketeers & The man in the iron mask.....The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullough...brilliant book.....The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (An amazing classic) & The Good Earth by Pearl Buck, lastly A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by betty Smith.
There, many classics and page turners for you!!! I have read all of these and in some cases multiple times!!! I really hope that this helps you!!! Spartacus will blow your mind. It had to be released in England as the McCarthy era had Howard fast black balled when it was written.
I hope that you read Cry to heaven by Anne Rice...it is NOT about vampires, but about the Italian Castrati, thus it is truth intermixed with fiction, rather historical fiction....
Happy reading!!!!! I gave y usome of my top faves here!!
Thanks,
Lioncourt

Answer 7

The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye is on my top 5 list. It has everything, love and war, friendship and history. Unforgetable characters. It's a long book, but you'll be sorry when it ends.

Answer 8

A Painted House- John Grisham (it isn't like most john grisham books: there isn't a legal story line)
I couldn't put it down, easily one of the best written most enjoyable stories I've ever read.
The Count of Monte Cristo is excellent as well.
