What's the best novel you've ever read?

Hi Words,

How Beautiful We Were, by Imbolo Mbue.

So begins Imbolo Mbue's powerful 2021 second novel, How Beautiful We Were. Set in the fictional African village of Kosawa, it tells of a people living in fear amid environmental degradation wrought by an American oil company. Pipeline spills have rendered farmlands infertile.

It is the best novel, I have ever read.
