Amir Wilson and Dafne Keen as Will and Lyra in His Dark Materials<\/p>\n
BBC<\/p>\n
The Amber Spyglass was the first children\u2019s book to be longlisted for the Booker prize \u2014 and it deserves to be read by old and young<\/a> alike. While the essential story \u2014 of two young people from different worlds, Will and Lyra, who fall in love \u2014 might sound familiar, Pullman was inspired by Miltonic philosophy, astrophysics and Christian theology. In this fast-paced conclusion to the His Dark Materials trilogy, Will and Lyra must venture to the Land of the Dead. They come to understand the depth of their feeling for each other, and why they must sacrifice their relationship for the good of mankind. It\u2019s heartbreaking: \u201cAnd when we do find each other again, we\u2019ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one\u2019ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you.\u201d English Passengers by Matthew Kneale (2000)<\/p>\n An eccentric vicar, in thrall to ludicrous speculations, believes that the Garden of Eden is located in Tasmania. Being an intrepid Victorian fellow, he sets off to find it on a ship crewed by Manx smugglers and accompanied by a surgeon with rather disturbing scientific racial theories (yes, science proves the British are superior). Of course this madcap adventure to the other side of the world won\u2019t end well. The English passengers get odder and odder \u2026 The story is told through the eyes of 20 or so characters, many of them deluded, grotesque or dotty; one of the narrators, though, is a native Tasmanian and we see the lethal undertow of British colonialism. Despite that dark shadow, the novel is also very funny. This winner of the Whitbread prize is historical fiction at its most imaginative. Any Human Heart by William Boyd (2002)<\/p>\n It can be a privilege to follow a character from cradle to grave, and in Any Human Heart<\/a> William Boyd makes Logan Mountstuart feel like a dear friend. These are his \u201cintimate journals\u201d, beginning in 1923 when he is a schoolboy \u2014 worried about exams, meeting girls, losing his virginity \u2014 and continuing as he goes up to Oxford, mopes around in Paris, marries, has a child and has his life utterly changed by the war. Perhaps the most accomplished sections of the novel, though, come towards the end, as Logan descends into the indignities of impoverished old age, at one particularly memorable point resorting to eating dog food \u201cwith the liberal addition of some tomato ketchup\u201d. It also has liberal additions of that thing so many great novels forget to include: humour. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (2003) Luke Treadaway in the National Theatre\u2019s production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time<\/p>\n ALAMY<\/p>\n Not many books begin with the brutal murder of a hound with a gardening implement \u2014 \u201cIt looked as if it was running on its side, the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog.\u201d \u2014 which is perhaps why Mark Haddon\u2019s clever murder mystery<\/a> stands out as one of the most fantastically original books of the past couple of decades. It\u2019s narrated by a puzzle-obsessed 15-year-old with Asperger\u2019s syndrome, who doesn\u2019t like strangers or the colour yellow or being touched. Chapters are labelled with prime numbers instead of a normal 1, 2, 3. We were flabbergasted that it didn\u2019t make it past the longlist of that year\u2019s Booker prize. \u2022 The best books of 2025 so far \u2014 our critics\u2019 picks<\/a><\/p>\n Notes on a Scandal by Zo\u00eb Heller (2003)<\/p>\n Zo\u00eb Heller\u2019s ingenious psychological thriller about a student\/teacher affair was inspired by WH Auden\u2019s observation that \u201cthe desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews\u201d. The story centres on two very different teachers working in an Islington secondary school who develop an unlikely friendship. Barbara is a dowdy history teacher who lives alone, Sheba is a posh new pottery teacher who puts her family, career and social position in jeopardy when she starts sleeping with a 15-year-old student, Steven Connolly. What makes the whole sordid affair so layered is that it\u2019s narrated by the bitter and twisted Barbara, who is convinced that Sheba\u2019s interest in the boy stems from her surprise that anyone from a deprived background might be interested in art. This is a technically brilliant piece of character-driven fiction about class, obsession and betrayal. 1983 by David Peace (2003)<\/p>\n The Red Riding Quartet \u2014 1974, 1977, 1980 and 1983 \u2014 is an extraordinary work of imagination. It is David Peace\u2019s nightmare vision of his home county of Yorkshire in the 1970s and 1980s, a brutal place of cheap lives, casual violence, corrupt cops and sleazy cover-up. The four novels are fictionalised accounts of the bungled investigations into the killings of the so-called Yorkshire Ripper, who was convicted of murdering 13 women. Peace\u2019s insistent, driving, aggressive, expletive-heavy prose makes the reading experience similar to being bogwashed by the author. And this final instalment is unforgettable. Truly bracing. And an antidote to nostalgia. Mother\u2019s Milk by Edward St Aubyn (2006) Benedict Cumberbatch in Melrose, the TV adaptation of Edward St Aubyn\u2019s novels<\/p>\n Edward St Aubyn\u2019s semi-autobiographical quintet about destructive parents proved that deep psychological pain can be horrifically funny. The fourth novel<\/a> catches up with a middle-age Patrick Melrose, who was raped at the age of five by his father, as recalled in his first book, Never Mind (1992). Now a wealthy barrister recovering from heroin addiction, Patrick finds his wife, Mary, consumed by motherhood and his dying mother about to hand over his inheritance to a new age foundation. Meanwhile, he is struggling with his own feelings about child-rearing. \u201cLooking after children can be a subtle way of giving up,\u201d Patrick reflects, having been ousted from the marital bed by his son. \u201cThe part of oneself that\u2019s fighting against decay and depression is transferred to guarding them from decay and depression. In the meantime one decays and gets depressed.\u201d Brooklyn by Colm T\u00f3ib\u00edn (2009)<\/p>\n It would be criminal to exclude Colm T\u00f3ib\u00edn from any list of the greatest modern novels, but picking which one of his impressive backlist should represent the rest was tricky: Nora Webster, The Master and Long Island<\/a> (one of those rare sequels that manages to live up to the original) are all powerful reads. Ultimately, though, the Irish author\u2019s touching 2009 novel Brooklyn<\/a> comes out on top. It\u2019s a heartbreaking story, set in the early 1950s, of an Irish girl on the edge of adulthood leaving her home in Co Wexford to forge a new life in Brooklyn, New York. Once settled there, she finds a new American kind of happiness for herself, but must make a terrible choice when tragic news calls her back across the Atlantic. With a plot that rich, no wonder the film adaptation received three Oscar nominations. A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride (2013)<\/p>\n We\u2019ll level with you \u2014 Eimear McBride\u2019s debut novel is not light reading for the sunlounger. A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing is formally and linguistically experimental, and frequently disturbing in subject. But it\u2019s so good that you should read it anyway. Narrated by an unnamed young woman, it tells the story of her relationship with her younger brother, who was born with a brain tumour, and with her own body, moulded as it is by the religious and misogynistic world in which she grows up. McBride\u2019s writing is like no one else\u2019s and encapsulates the life of the female body with brio: \u201cTired. Under-touched. Flesh having run all night after the cows. Flesh carry sacks of turf up lanes from the shed and spurt out child and child and child.\u201d \u2022 The Sunday Times Bestsellers List \u2014 the latest UK book charts<\/a><\/p>\n Outline by Rachel Cusk (2014)<\/p>\n About ten years ago Rachel Cusk abandoned the witty, assured social realism that had characterised the first half of her career and instead took her cue from the autofiction of Karl Ove Knausgaard. She used the struggles and existential angst of her middle years to create her own literary form: plotless, semi-autobiographical accounts of one woman\u2019s conversations with friends and strangers. This woman is a divorced middle-aged writer, Faye, who has lost her belief in reality and acts as a quasi-passive receptacle for other people\u2019s stories of catastrophes, epiphanies and transitions. Outline<\/a> was followed by Transit<\/a> (2016) and Kudos<\/a> (2018), forming a trilogy in which Faye eventually reattaches herself to life. Cusk\u2019s autofiction was recognised as a new path for the novel, transforming her into one of Britain\u2019s most celebrated modern writers. The Green Road by Anne Enright (2015)<\/p>\n It was The Gathering that won Anne Enright the Booker, but we have a soft spot for The Green Road<\/a>, her novel about the Madigan family\u2019s not-very-happy Christmas. Each of the children is struggling: Hanna with alcoholism, Dan with his sexuality, Constance with illness and Emmet with heartbreak. We meet each of them one by one, and then together, when their mother, Rosaleen, decides to sell the family home and invites them back for one last festive meal. There are some fantastically lurid scenes of last-minute Christmas shopping at the height of the Celtic tiger boom \u2014 \u201cConstance bought a wheel of Camembert, various boxes of chocolates, Parma ham and beautiful, small grapes\u201d \u2014 and a moment of real terror when Rosaleen runs away on a stormy night. Days Without End by Sebastian Barry (2016)<\/p>\n If you love a novel with sweep, incident and emotion, then this is the novel for you<\/a>. We see a still young America through the eyes of Thomas McNulty, who arrives aged 17 in the new world after escaping the Irish famine. He falls in with John Cole and at one point the two lads work as a drag act out west in a vaudeville theatre, catering for women-starved men. Thomas never loses his penchant for cross-dressing, even as they sign up, fighting in the American Civil War and then the bloody campaigns against Native American tribes. But it\u2019s not a war story, it\u2019s a love story, as brothers-in-arms become something closer. Lush and full of loveliness. Golden Hill by Francis Spufford (2016)<\/p>\n Spufford\u2019s literary page-turner<\/a>, his debut, was championed by The Sunday Times and became a runaway bestseller. He only started writing novels at the age of 52, by which time he wanted to \u201cthrow in everything I liked, and then the kitchen sink\u201d. The result is a madcap caper set in mid-18th-century New York that follows Richard Smith, a fresh-off-the-boat ingenu from London, who arrives with a bill of exchange for \u00a31,000 and experiences Manhattan in its infancy. It reads like all the best bits of Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson, Tobias Smollett and Laurence Sterne. Spufford is the master of the set piece: the party, the punch-up, the duel, the bathhouse romp. His great skill is to breathe life into almost any scene with apparent ease. Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney (2017) Joe Alwyn and Alison Oliver in the 2022 TV adaptation of Conversations with Friends<\/p>\n ENDA BOWE\/BBC<\/p>\n We know that Normal People<\/a> is Sally Rooney\u2019s most widely loved novel, but we\u2019re standing firm on our position that her debut, Conversations with Friends<\/a>, is even better. It takes as its subject a quartet of people \u2014 Frances and Bobbi, two young women studying at Trinity together, who used to be in a relationship, and Melissa and Nick, a married couple in their thirties. When Frances and Nick begin an affair, all four hurt each other in increasingly baroque ways. Rooney is fantastic at understanding the anxieties and frustrations of youth, and the particular pain of heartbreak: \u201cAt times I thought this was the worst misery I had experienced in my life, but it was also a very shallow misery, which at any time could have been relieved completely by a word from him and transformed into idiotic happiness.\u201d The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker (2018)<\/p>\n The first part of Pat Barker\u2019s Trojan War trilogy brilliantly subverted the traditional tale of heroism and glory by focusing on the brutal consequences on the women and girls enslaved in the Greeks\u2019 \u201crape camp\u201d. We follow Briseis, the watchful 19-year-old queen of Lyrnessus, who is forced to become the warrior Achilles\u2019 \u201cbed girl\u201d mere hours after she has witnessed him butcher every man in her family. The warrior grabs her chin and says, \u201cCheers lads \u2026 she\u2019ll do\u201d (the book is full of this kind of modern, unvarnished Anglo-Saxonism). Published at the height of the MeToo movement, Barker\u2019s electrifying 14th novel<\/a> became a bestseller, proving that a story about the Bronze Age could hold up a mirror to our world in which women are still treated as \u201cprizes of honour\u201d. \u2022 The nation\u2019s favourite 20th century novels: 50 modern classics<\/a><\/p>\n Now We Shall Be Entirely Free by Andrew Miller (2018)<\/p>\n This cat-and-mouse thriller<\/a> set at the height of the Napoleonic Wars is one of the most underrated British novels of recent years. It\u2019s 1809 and John Lacroix, a wounded British officer in his early thirties, is guilt-ridden by memories of war atrocities committed in Spain. Instruction comes for John to return to his regiment but, wondering whether he has \u201clost some common, invisible thread of sense\u201d, he flees to the Hebrides. This is a novel of delicately shifting moods, a pastoral comedy, a passionate romance and a story of murder. There\u2019s even a trippy scene involving laudanum. Andrew Miller, who last month was Booker longlisted for The Land in Winter, which is set in the 1960s, is one of those rare novelists who can rock up in any time and place and convincingly inhabit that particular historical moment. Milkman by Anna Burns (2018)<\/p>\n When Milkman<\/a> won the Booker in 2018, some readers thought it was incomprehensible, with names swapped for titles like \u201cmaybe-boyfriend\u201d and \u201cthird brother-in-law\u201d and places referred to in intentionally ambiguous ways. But others (and we\u2019re with them) thought it was tense, formally inventive and all the more moving for its ambiguity. Set in Troubles-torn Belfast, where everything is surveilled and nothing escapes judgment, the story is narrated by Middle Sister, an introspective young woman who cannot seem to fit into the mould society has made for her. She reads while walking, for goodness sake! Her life is put in peril when she comes to the attention of Milkman, a \u201cfrightening\u201d and \u201cdangerous\u201d individual who \u201cdidn\u2019t ever deliver milk\u201d. Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart (2020)<\/p>\n Hankies out, Shuggie Bain<\/a> is a heartbreaker. Set in the tough universe of the working-class estates and tenements of Scotland in the 1980s and 1990s, it\u2019s the story of a poor, sensitive boy and his mother, a finely drawn tragic heroine. Her alcoholic disintegration is movingly and painfully chronicled; and there is a beauty and tenderness in Douglas Stuart\u2019s description of her relationship with Shuggie. It\u2019s not all misery, there are flashes of humour, caught in earthy Glaswegian. You root for both characters, hoping that against the odds they find peace and happiness, that they can escape their lives, roughly circumscribed by addiction and poverty. It does what good fiction does \u2014 you walk in the scuffed trainers of people who live very different lives. A popular winner of the Booker prize. The Bee Sting by Paul Murray (2023)<\/p>\n Paul Murray\u2019s tragicomic masterpiece<\/a> teases out all psychic horror of family life and turns it into riotous farce. This is a mosaic-like account of one family\u2019s misery when their Volkswagen dealership hits the skids in post-crash Ireland. We plunge into the scrambled thoughts of each of the four protagonists \u2014 the hapless pater familias, Dickie, his materialistic wife, Imelda, and their two confused teenage children. It\u2019s a story of blackmail, betrayal and freak accidents but most of all it\u2019s about what having money and losing money does to humans. Murray\u2019s fourth novel shares much in common with the big American family sagas of Jonathan Franzen and AM Homes where disaster is piled upon misfortune. As Imelda observes: \u201cLife just came at you like a gang of lads getting out of a van.\u201d \u2022 Read more book reviews and interviews \u2014 and see what\u2019s top of the Sunday Times Bestsellers List<\/a><\/p>\n Our top five5. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro (2005) Keira Knightley in the 2010 film adaptation of Never Let Me Go<\/p>\n ALAMY<\/p>\n Kazuo Ishiguro\u2019s melancholy masterpiece<\/a> was once dismissed as a \u201cfailure\u201d by Frank Kermode, who said its \u201cdear-diary prose\u201d would never hold the reader\u2019s interest. Twenty years on, with film and stage adaptations and translations in 50 languages, Ishiguro\u2019s best-read novel (yes, it has outsold The Remains of the Day) is considered a modern-day classic. Its story will haunt you for a lifetime. The narrator, 31-year-old Kathy H, reflects on her life, fondly recollecting her time at Hailsham, a boarding school in the English countryside, where she became close friends with the controlling Ruth and the sensitive Tommy. The characters seem orphaned, but it slowly emerges that the pupils are clones created for sinister purposes. They will never grow old. Ostensibly science fiction, this heartbreaking story is really about the inescapability of sickness and death, and the strategies we employ to give our limited lives meaning. 4. Atonement by Ian McEwan (2001) James McAvoy in the 2007 film adaptation of Atonement<\/p>\n ALAMY<\/p>\n Few novels this century have a fraction of the emotional power of Atonement<\/a>, a tale of doomed love and painful regret. In the summer of 1935, young Briony watches with confusion as a romance blossoms between her sister Cecilia and Robbie, the son of the family\u2019s housekeeper. When a terrible crime is committed, Briony wrongly accuses Robbie. These three characters continue to move uncomfortably in each other\u2019s orbit as the war breaks out, and as Briony realises her mistake she knows that she has destroyed the couple\u2019s chances for ever. The descriptions of Dunkirk are particularly strong: \u201cAll around him, men were walking silently with their thoughts, reforming their lives, making resolutions. If I ever get out of this lot \u2026 They could never be counted, the dreamed-up children, mentally conceived on the walk into Dunkirk, and later made flesh.\u201d 3. Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan (2021) Cillian Murphy as Bill Furlong in Small Things Like These<\/p>\n ENDA BOWE<\/p>\n Sometimes a novel comes along that proves without question that the author is a master of their craft. Small Things Like These<\/a>, Claire Keegan\u2019s first novel in more than a decade, does exactly that. The tender, carefully constructed tale is set in rural Ireland during the unforgiving winter of 1985, and tails the coal merchant Bill Furlong \u2014 a gentle yet hardworking father of five \u2014 as he makes his last fuel deliveries in the run-up to Christmas. Things take a dark turn when Furlong stops in at the local convent and finds a starving young woman locked inside the coal shed. Realising the extent of the church\u2019s abuse of unmarried mothers, he must weigh up the cost of staying silent versus the cost of intervening. Hence the book\u2019s dedication \u201cto the women and children who suffered time in Ireland\u2019s mother and baby homes and Magdalene laundries\u201d. Nostalgic, pensive, fierce and deeply affecting all at once, it rightfully deserves a spot in the literary hall of fame. 2. The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst (2004) Oliver Coleman, Dan Stevens and Alex Wyndham in the 2006 TV adaptation of The Line of Beauty<\/p>\n BBC<\/p>\n This is one of the most brilliant novels ever written<\/a> about the British class system. It has comedy, tragedy, political scandal and drug-fuelled hedonism. It even has a dancing Mrs Thatcher. Every sentence is a work of beauty. Thatcher\u2019s Britain and the Aids crisis is seen through the eyes of Nick Guest, a young, gay aesthete who is invited to stay with the wealthy Fedden family in their Notting Hill home. Over the 1980s, the family induct him into a world of French villas, troubled millionaires and vicious power games. Alan Hollinghurst can write about outdoor \u201cbumshoving\u201d with a rare elegance and candour. But if you\u2019ve come for the heady gay sex, you stay for the forensic dissection of the British establishment. This is a novel with a powerful political charge. 1. Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel (2012) Mark Rylance and Claire Foy in the BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel\u2019s Wolf Hall<\/p>\n GILES KEYTE\/BBC<\/p>\n Initially we had Hilary Mantel\u2019s Wolf Hall in the top spot, and the first in her Thomas Cromwell trilogy is definitely in \u201cgenius\u201d territory, but we think Bring Up the Bodies<\/a> is even better. As it begins, Anne Boleyn has married Henry VIII and given birth to a child, Elizabeth. But when she fails to provide a male heir, Henry grows impatient. As the wily Cromwell begins to plot against the queen, Mantel\u2019s generous, expansive narrative grows sharp. She has done that almost impossible thing \u2014 to take a story that every child learns at school, and still make the reader thrum with suspense. Every word of the eventual execution scene is finely tuned (\u201cinto that silence, a sharp sigh or a sound like a whistle through a keyhole\u201d) but most powerful of all is the conclusion, as Cromwell comes to terms with his own mortality, and the likelihood that Henry will one day turn on him. \u201cThere are no endings. If you think so you are deceived as to their nature. They are all beginnings. Here is one.\u201d What is your favourite British or Irish novel of the 21st century?
