I think he likes that they are fiction with social commentary / british socialist ideology. by SquishTheNinja Related: Please suggest me a book to gift my MIL Scary fiction books set during the ‘conquest of american land’ (either colonization or westward expansion, set between 1600 to 1900) Not Western, but set in the West fiction like Doig, Proulx, Frazier A few unpopular book recommendations Help!
