Choosing a few favourites is a Herculean task. After many lists, I narrowed down my favourites in the latter half of the year to ten. I absolutely loved these books. Some of them are entertaining reads while in some it is the writing style that stands out. Please note, these are favourites among the books I have read in 2016. The books might not necessarily be published in 2016.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was very surprised to note that I did not read any books of my favourite genre, magical realism, in the latter half of the year. The list includes books of genres of literary fiction and fantasy. The first half of 2016 had a more spread out list across different genres. Check my Ten Best Reads in the First Half of 2016<\/a><\/span> for more recommendations.

 <\/p>\n

1. The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss<\/h3>\n

No surprise that The Tidal Zone<\/em> is the first one on the list. The novel revolves around a stay-at-home father who receives a call from the school authorities saying that his fifteen year old daughter collapsed on the playground without breathing. The power of the novel rests in its depiction of the ordinary  while being firmly grounded in the present world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I adored this novel. I cried and laughed with the Goldschmidt household. Sarah Moss is an under rated writer and this book made me yearn for her earlier works.  The Tidal Zone<\/em> is the latest addition to my list of heart breaking reads.

2. Judas by Amos Oz<\/h3>\n

This was not an easy read. Nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable one. There are three main characters who drink tea and talk and again drink tea. Yes, that sums up most of the plot! The writing style is slow and it gives insightful opinions on Judaism, Christianity, the Israeli-Palestine issue and is compelling in its argument that Judas is not a traitor but a true Christian.<\/p>\n

3. A Lady and her Husband by Amber Reeves<\/strong>
\nThis is a cosy read, that makes you question the position of women, both in the household and in the society in mid-20th<\/sup> century. When Mary Heyham, a middle aged wife and mother of three, decides to step out of the four walls of her comfortable home, she is fascinated and appalled by the man\u2019s world that she sees before her. With tinges of feminism as well as focus on family bonds, Reeves spins out a wonderful story.<\/p>\n

4. The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild<\/h3>\n

The Improbability of Love<\/em>  is a pure entertainer. If lavish banquets, elite class lifestyle, unscrupulous art world and history of paintings catch your fancy, this is the best book for you. This was an amazing and informative, not to forget lip-smacking, read for me. Food lovers will go weak in the knees for descriptions in the book.<\/p>\n

5. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman<\/h3>\n

Fantasy lovers, take note \u2013 Seraphina<\/em> is a perfect mix of music, excellent world building and fast paced plot. The story is set in a pseudo-Rennaissance world where dragons and humans co-exist. This was a book I could not put down when I started reading it. The message of acceptance of those who are different that Seraphina<\/em> puts forth seems to relevant in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. The Secret Orchard of Roger Ackerley by Diana Petre<\/h3>\n

This is Diana Petre\u2019s recollection of growing up with her sisters in South London as the illegitimate children of a wealthy business man. She tries to reconstruct her mother\u2019s hazy past through her letters and broken conversations. This is a delightful read for those who love honest memoirs sprinkled with anecdotes.<\/p>\n

7. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch<\/h3>\n

I would call Dark Matter<\/em> a sci-fiction read with a heart. There is very little scientific or technical matter in the book, but the writing zooms through the plot and there are frequent emotional scenes. In my review I defined Dark Matter<\/em> as \u201cthe baby Inception<\/em> and The Matrix<\/em> would have together with some genes from The Prestige\u201d.<\/em>
\nRead <\/em><\/strong> : Dark Matter<\/em> by Blake Crouch is a nail biting race through parallel realities<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. The Glorious Heresies by Lisa McInerny<\/h3>\n

The Glorious Heresies<\/em> won the Bailey\u2019s Women\u2019s Prize 2016. This is an atmospheric read that brings alive the Irish underworld. The novel tells the story of a few characters whose lives are intertwined with each other after a murder. Do not pick this for a happy ending, but if you would like to indulge in a  novel that is visceral, crass with a vibrant cast, this is the perfect pick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir<\/h3>\n

An Ember in the Ashes<\/em> is my top YA read of 2016. There are a few clich\u00e9 plot turns, but the whole read is very entertaining and enjoyable. The story follows a cruel regime that rules its citizens with an iron foot. Laia, a slave and Elias, a soldier, both seem to be unhappy with the regime for their own reasons. When their paths collide, they are faced with decisions that can affect the safety of many.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff<\/h3>\n

A story of a marriage told in two parts, in the POV of the husband (Fates) and the wife (Furies). To tell the truth, this book did not fascinate me in the first half aka Fates. That adds up to some 250+ pages. But Furies, true to its name, takes the plot by storm. The whole flavour of the book changes in the second half.<\/p>\n

Read <\/em><\/strong> : Fates and Furies<\/em> by Lauren Groff is unsettling and surprising<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
