I am looking for recommendations for fictional books where the characters have to navigate class and wealth and often claw their way to the top. If this description reminds you of any titles let me know!
The Red Rising series is all about someone from society’s lowest caste fighting the system and trying to dismantle the social system!

NW by Zadie Smith is about the class divide in contemporary London. It touches on social mobility, identity, and the invisible barriers that being of certain class prescribes. If you pick this up, give her writing style a chance – it takes a bit of reading to get used to!
