Daniela Ciafardoni | 4 comments I need to read a book by a contemporary underrated writer for my 2024 reading challenge. Any recommendations?

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) | 695 comments I would go with really well written genre fiction. Genre writers are widely underrated, but if they do their job well they write books that are impossible to put down.

I can offer two from romance fiction, both incidentally Austenesque: Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev, which uses a really fresh vocabulary for describing desire; and The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley, which interprets the boring Anne de Bourgh in a creative way and has an ending that will reduce you to jelly.

I really recommend 'The Mermaid of Black Conch' by Monique Roffey. This is that book that seems to have finally got her noticed - she writes so well!
