I’ll never forget how I felt when I discovered the twist in Never Let Me Go, when I realised exactly what Kathy, Tommy and Ruth are, and what their lives come to mean.

When the woman in this couple, Megan, is reported missing, Rachel cannot help but involve herself in the case, her fascination driving her to near madness as she has holes in her own memory from the night in question. In The Girl on the Train, Rachel is a divorcee and a drunk struggling to keep her life together and is comforted on her commute to work by witnessing the apparent wedded bliss of a young couple who live doors down from her ex-husband, whom she can see when she is on the train. As in books like The Silent Patient, you follow along with the protagonist as they try to get to the truth, and often when you get there, part of you wishes that you hadn’t.īooks like The Silent Patient often use more than one timeline and more than one point of view, leading to a web of half and muddled truths that need untangling in order to understand what’s going on. Margaret plans to decline the offer but upon meeting Vida, she becomes enthralled in her tale, until she must know the ending to her story. For years the press has been mystified and fascinated by Vida, as she refuses to divulge anything about her upbringing, but upon learning she is terminally ill, she decides the only one to tell her story is Margaret. When novelist Vida Winter contacts Margaret Lea asking for her to write her biography, Margaret at first does not want anything to do with telling the elusive author’s life story. The Thirteenth Tale was one of the first novels that I read that truly gripped me – the twists and turns this novel takes brings the reader on a ride they daren’t get off and has one of the biggest twists I’ve ever come across in fiction. The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield Books similar to The Silent Patient, with the use of multiple timelines, are often able to distort events easily, making it all the more intense when the reveal is upon us. The story is largely told through Anna and her mother, Sara’s perspectives, but her father, brother, lawyer and others all weigh in on the case, constantly changing our own opinions in the process. This one is no exception – when Anna, a “test-tube baby” born to save her sister’s life, decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body, the Fitzgerald family is thrown into turmoil, unable to make the impossible choice of which sister’s life is more important. My Sister’s Keeper is probably Picoult’s most well-known novel – many of her novels, due to the nature of stories told through multiple perspectives, naturally have unreliable narrators, or ones that are not telling us everything for one reason or another. We Need to Talk about Kevin, by Lionel ShriverĨ Books like The Silent Patient My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult.
The First Phonecall from Heaven, by Mitch Albom.
