new books to read 2017 fiction

I really liked 'Trust' by Hernan Diaz in 2023. This book is quite complex. It tells the story of a wealthy financier from multiple perspectives. It plays with the idea of truth and how different people perceive and construct the story of a person's life. It's a book that makes you think and re - evaluate as you read.

A must - read 2017 fiction is 'Exit West' by Mohsin Hamid. It's a love story set against the backdrop of global migration. The novel uses magical realism to depict the journey of two young people as they flee their war - torn country through mysterious doors that lead to different parts of the world.

One great 2017 fiction book to read is 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead. It's a powerful novel that reimagines the Underground Railroad as an actual railroad underground. The story follows Cora, a slave, on her journey to freedom. It's not only a story of escape but also a deep exploration of America's history of slavery and racism.

One great new fiction book from 2018 is 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney. It tells a complex and engaging story of the relationship between two young people. Another is 'The Overstory' by Richard Powers, which has a unique take on environmental themes through various characters' stories. And 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' by Oyinkan Braithwaite is also very interesting with its darkly humorous take on family and murder.

Some of the new must - read fiction books include 'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig. It's a thought - provoking story about a woman who gets to experience different versions of her life. Another one could be 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens, which combines a mystery with beautiful nature descriptions.

There's also 'The Nickel Boys' by Colson Whitehead. It's based on a real - life reform school in Florida. This novel is a powerful exploration of racism and the abuse of power. It's a harrowing read but also an important one that shows the dark side of American history.

Another good one is 'The Testaments' by Margaret Atwood. It's a sequel to 'The Handmaid's Tale' and continues to explore the dystopian world she created.

There were several standouts in 2016. 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead was a hit. It's a powerful and imaginative novel.

I'd also recommend 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney. It's a story about two young people and their complex relationship. It's very well - written with a lot of nuanced character development. The dialogue is sharp and really draws you into their world. It gives an interesting look at modern relationships and class differences.
