More a list of favourites – there are some scandalous omissions that I know others will pick – and definitely skewed towards the books that I read at an impressionable age, but everything here has engaged, affected and influenced me and I love them all.

"All the scale and high emotion of a great 19th century novel, but published in 1980. One of the great endings too - a puzzle that clicks into place and makes you gasp."
