What is the best book you have ever read by a male author and a female author?

[chaptazbru]

Mine is The Pursuit of Happiness by Douglas Kennedy

and

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.

[Polly1958]

Anything by Robert Goddard,his earliest ones are the best.I have loved all Kate Mortons too.

Polly - I was disappointed with Kate Morton's last book - the Distant Hours, but I loved her other two.

Ooh. Just remembered another one - a must read. 'The Hare with Amber Eyes' by Edmund de Waal. It is a history/biography of his family and it will break your heart. I'm filling up just thinking about it.

Has anyone read Barbara Erskine's books? Not in the league of the classics – but I recall reading one whilst sitting under a palm tree in Kenya in 100 plus degrees heat – and having goose bumps up my arms. Chilling!

In The Wet by Neville Shute
Pride & Prejudice or Emma by Jane Austen
