An entertaining novel by A.S. Byatt's sister-- and a bit of a sleeper, with only one review on Amazon.

by Margaret Drabble

Set in London and in the north of England, beginning in 1979, this grand and sweeping tragicomedy tells the story of three women. Strong, articulate, witty, and opinionated, they find their personal and professional lives changed by national political events, as they bravely undertake the adventures of middle age. Disconcerting things happen to them -- divorce, unsuitable affairs, unemployment, family illnesses and deaths, and even a terrifyingly close brush with a murderer.

by Kurt Vonnegut

Amazon says:
Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes unstuck in time after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.

"Slaughterhouse-Five" is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is as important as any written since 1945. Like "Catch-22", it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. It boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it a unique poignancy -- and humor.
