What are the best book club books in fiction in 2016?

One great book is 'The Four Winds' by Kristin Hannah. It tells a powerful story of a woman's struggle during the Great Depression. The characters are well - developed and the historical setting is vividly depicted, making it a great choice for book club discussions.

One great fiction book for book clubs in 2018 was 'Educated' by Tara Westover. It's a memoir written as a novel, which makes it very engaging. The story of her journey from a strict and isolated upbringing in a survivalist family to getting an education at Cambridge is truly inspiring.

One of the great book club fiction books in 2019 was 'The Testaments' by Margaret Atwood. It's a powerful follow - up to 'The Handmaid's Tale', exploring more of the dystopian world she created. Another good one was 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens. It combines a coming - of - age story with a murder mystery set in the marshes, which makes for a very engaging read.

One great choice is 'The Vanishing Half' by Brit Bennett. It tells the story of twin sisters who take very different paths in life, exploring themes of race, identity, and family.

Another excellent choice is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The decadence of the 1920s, the complex love triangle, and the exploration of the American Dream make it a fascinating read for a book club. The symbolism in the book, like the green light, provides a lot to dissect.

One of the great fiction book club books in 2017 was 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead. It offers a unique take on the Underground Railroad as a literal railroad underground. The story is gripping and filled with vivid characters that make for great discussion in a book club.

One of the best is 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. It's set in 12th - century England and follows the building of a cathedral. The story is full of rich characters from different social classes, and it vividly depicts the historical period, including the political and religious unrest.

I'd also recommend 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel. It's about Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII. The detailed historical setting and Mantel's in - depth exploration of Cromwell's character, as well as the power dynamics at the Tudor court, will surely spark lively conversations in a book club.

Well, 'The Dutch House' is a strong contender. It has complex characters and a story that unfolds in a really engaging way. The house in the story becomes almost like a character itself. As for 'The Water Dancer', it not only gives a vivid picture of the horrors of slavery but also adds an element of the supernatural which makes it stand out. 'The Giver of Stars' is charming as it shows the power of books and female friendship in a historical context.

Well, 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte is a great choice. It's a story of a young woman's journey through love, independence, and self - discovery. 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is another. It uses animals on a farm to satirize totalitarian regimes. 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling can't be ignored either. It has a magical world full of wonder, friendship, and battles between good and evil, which always sparks great discussions in book clubs.
