Number 11 in the list is Sybil, by Disraeli. Appropriately for a politician, the book has strong political roots. The writing is surprisingly good - more Trollope than Dickens. But while Trollope was never plot driven, this one has the hero and heroine fighting the odds to achieve their ends.
An excellent read and worthy of its place on this list.… (altro)
