The 2014 fiction scene had some great reads. 'The Miniaturist' for example, is set in a historical context and the mystery surrounding the miniatures makes it a page - turner. Then there's 'The Bone Clocks'. David Mitchell is known for his complex and multi - layered stories, and this one is no exception. It jumps through different time periods and keeps you hooked with its various plot lines.
One of the best 2014 fiction books was 'All the Light We Cannot See'. It's a war story that focuses on the individual experiences of the characters rather than just the big battles. The way it describes the two main characters' lives, the blind girl and the German boy, is really touching. Another good one was 'We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves'. It has a bit of a family drama feel to it but with a really unique and unexpected plot twist.
