For example: books like The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and The Goldfinch.
Any book where the writer has talent not only for story-telling but for the written language as well. I love flowery prose—not a fan of Hemingway.
Bonus points if the stories are about people overcoming horrible conditions like war, famine, abuse, disease, or uncertainty, so that you can really get immersed with the character.
