Through his distinctive voice, the author tackles themes of identity, rebellion, and alienation - making it a must-read for generations of readers. 4. "Beloved" by Toni Morrison: As an influential voice in modern fiction, Toni Morrison brings us "Beloved," an emotionally charged novel that confronts the legacy of slavery and its impact on African American families. Her poetic prose and unflinching exploration of trauma make this a haunting and unforgettable read. 5. "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami: For fans of magical realism, Murakami's work never disappoints. "Norwegian Wood" takes us on a nostalgic journey through 1960s Japan, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
