I'd recommend 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel. It's a post - apocalyptic novel that's not just about survival but also about art, culture, and human connection. The way it weaves different storylines together is really fascinating.
The 2014 fiction 'The Miniaturist' by Jessie Burton is worth reading. It has a great atmosphere set in 17th - century Amsterdam. The mystery surrounding the miniaturist and her creations adds an element of intrigue to the story about a young bride's life.
A really good 2014 fiction book is 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr. It's a historical fiction set during World War II. The beautiful writing and the way it portrays the lives of the two main characters, a blind French girl and a German boy, is truly captivating.
