Delights 11: novels

I love being deep in a good story. I saw a Substack note where someone shared their ten favorite novels and I felt inspired. Summer is a great time for novels. (As is fall and winter and spring…) So here, in no particular order, are some of my favorite novels. 

A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum 
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
Kindred by Octavia Butler
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (Perhaps soon to be replaced by Tom Lake?)
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
An extra: Earthsea novels by Ursula K. Le Guin
