I have feeling someone has already started a thread about this and I missed it, but with the NY Times recent list of 100 best books of this century, it seems like a good opportunity to try and figure out my own. So if anyone wants to join in, I'd love to see what your favorites are. I chose 25 instead of 100 and just novels since I have a hard time comparing nonfiction or story collections, but feel free to make your own rules!
What a smart work of historical fiction! Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, based this on an actual relative of hers, Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott. Ferguson worked on this for nearly two decades, doing research, digging into that time period, and you can hear Sarah's voice in the character. Margaret is such an inspiration. She is not afraid to speak up even if it costs her dearly, as she will never compromise what she wants.
