Djuna Barnes, Nightwood $1.99
1936 classic Nightwood by Djuna Barnes is $1.99 at Amazon US.
Spoiler:

The fiery and enigmatic masterpiece—one of the greatest novels of the Modernist era.

Nightwood, Djuna Barnes' strange and sinuous tour de force, "belongs to that small class of books that somehow reflect a time or an epoch" (Times Literary Supplement). That time is the period between the two World Wars, and Barnes' novel unfolds in the decadent shadows of Europe's great cities, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna—a world in which the boundaries of class, religion, and sexuality are bold but surprisingly porous.

The outsized characters who inhabit this world are some of the most memorable in all of fiction—there is Guido Volkbein, the Wandering Jew and son of a self-proclaimed baron; Robin Vote, the American expatriate who marries him and then engages in a series of affairs, first with Nora Flood and then with Jenny Petherbridge, driving all of her lovers to distraction with her passion for wandering alone in the night; and there is Dr. Matthew-Mighty-Grain-of-Salt-Dante-O'Connor, a transvestite and ostensible gynecologist, whose digressive speeches brim with fury, keen insights, and surprising allusions. Barnes' depiction of these characters and their relationships (Nora says, "A man is another persona woman is yourself, caught as you turn in panic; on her mouth you kiss your own") has made the novel a landmark of feminist and lesbian literature.

Most striking of all is Barnes' unparalleled stylistic innovation, which led T. S. Eliot to proclaim the book "so good a novel that only sensibilities trained on poetry can wholly appreciate it." Now with a new preface by Jeanette Winterson, Nightwood still crackles with the same electric charge it had on its first publication in 1936.

The wonderful Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, origin of the classic phrase, is £0.99 as a UK Kindle Daily Deal today. The blurb doesn't do it justice...

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is part of the UK Kindle Daily Deal today at £0.99. Steinbeck's titles are usually pretty high-priced, so glad to see this one on sale.

Streetwise George and his big, childlike friend Lennie are drifters, searching for work in the fields and valleys of California. They have nothing except the clothes on their back, and a hope that one day they'll find a place of their own and live the American dream. But dreams come at a price. Gentle giant Lennie doesn't know his own strength, and when they find work at a ranch he gets into trouble with the boss's daughter-in-law. Trouble so bad that even his protector George may not be able to save him...

Contains an introduction by David Wyatt, as well as suggestions for further reading of acclaimed criticisms and references.

Sword of State: The Wielding by Richard Woodman

1659 and Lord General George Monck has set up on camp on the River Tweed on the border of Scotland and England with his loyal army.
He has plans to retire, to spend the rest of his years on his estates in Essex and Potheridge with his wife, Anne, and son, Kit.

But the changing political climate in London forces him to march his army south to the capital and Monck isn’t one to defy duty.
In the Rump of the Long Parliament, the case is being made for an end to the Commonwealth and for the Restoration of the Monarchy.
Some want Charles, the son of the previous King, to return from his exile in France whilst others would even have Monck, with his Plantagenet blood, as their King.

Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO is an English novelist
His main work is 14 volumes about the career of Nathaniel Drinkwater

My comment. Yet another novel about the restoration of Charles II.

I would suggest Crown and Mitre by Robert Neill if you can find a copy

Free, from a series I like.

Command the Raven (An Uncivil War Book 2) by M. J. Logue

February 1643

The beginning of the English Civil War and for once Captain Hollie Babbitt thinks his luck's turned.

After a typically daredevil assault on Prince Rupert's elite cavalry troop, he's presently in favour with the Army of Parliament's commander.
He's also personally in favour with Luce Pettitt's fragrant Auntie Het.
And although they haven't managed to break Luce of the poeting habit, he's turning into a competent and capable officer.

But what seems on the surface to be a minor promotion to a quiet backwater posting, sees Hollie forced to confront the demons of his past....

Bargain @ $1.99 from Arcade Publishing in Canada & the US (couponable/VIP-eligible @Kobo, price should be the same at all the other stores)

The Successor by Albanian author Ismail Kadaré (Wikipedia), who was apparently recipient of the inaugural Man Booker International Prize, among other awards. This is a dramatized historical political novel with mystery and psychological thriller elements based on the real life suspicious death of a successor to an Albanian dictator, which is apparently a “write what you know” situation at second hand. According to its Wikipedia entry, this novel is the 2nd part of a diptych with a self-contained tie-in novella, the two of which together are considered among his best works.

A powerful political novel based on the sudden, mysterious death of the man who had been handpicked to succeed the hated Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha. Did he commit suicide or was he murdered? That is the burning question. The man who died by his own hand, or another’s, was Mehmet Shehu, the presumed heir to the ailing dictator. So sure was the world that he was next in line, he was known as The Successor.

And then, shortly before Shehu was to assume power, he was found dead. The Successor is simultaneously a mystery novel, a historical novel-based on actual events and buttressed by the author’s private conversations with the son of the real-life Mehmet Shehu, and a psychological novel. How do you live when nothing is sure?
