C.S. Lewis once said, 'You can never get a cup of tea large enough or book long enough to suit me.' If you feel the same, here are five popular fiction reads to cosy up with this winter. 

A man called Ove, Fredrik Backman

There is something about Ove. He is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet and thinks himself surrounded by idiots. However, through an unswerving conviction about what the world should be, you realise there is something quite irresistible about Ove. 

The Wife and the Widow, Christian White

This is an unsettling thriller told from the perspective of a wife and a widow. Nothing is as it seems and it's only when these women come together, can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives. 

Little fires everywhereCeleste Ng

In Shaker Heights, everything is planned - from the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. So what happens when Mia Warren brings her mysterious past and disregard for the status quo into the community?

Grown upsMarian Keyes

They're a glamorous family the Caseys but under the surface, they are much murkier. With one careless remark made with everyone present, the secrets begin to unravel. 

Pachinko, Min Jin Lee

This is the story of an exceptional family in exile from their homeland and being caught in the indifferent arc of history.
