"Little Women" is an absoloute classic!
Gotta be one of my favourites.
"The Lovely Bones" By Alice Sebold, charming and sad, but oh so uplifting.
"The Road" By Cormac McCarthy- unbelievably depressing but amazing writing.
"The Partisan's Daughter" By Louis de'Bernierre- fantastic character development. So honest and touching.
"The Book Thief" Markus Zusak- Wonderful! Really emotionally powerful and awesome writing.
All these books have absoloutely awesome writing, really beautiful language and imagery is used just tooo well! I love them all, give them a try.

"The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold- confronting yet again but really superb writing.

By the river under the willows trees.
