A few classics come to mind, but since I'm not a native English speaker and it took me more than a week to finish "A Tale Of Two Cities", I'd prefer a more recent author.
First novel that springs to mind, as an example, is "The Memoirs Of A Geisha".
Do you have any suggestions?
Try any recent Jayne Ann Krentz novel or the "Death" novels of JD Robb (Nora Roberts)
