The writer has very beautifully expressed the mixture of love and war. “Driving Over Lemons”; an Optimist in Andalucia by Chris Stewart is on the number two spot for classic reads.

The story of this novel revolves around the author who is buying a farmhouse in Spain.

The story is so intense that once you read it you would feel like selling all of your possessions and going over to Spain to settle down once and for all.

The story makes you realize the affection and happiness that you gain from relationships with your neighbours, while it also shows how one is glued to his fixed everyday routine of live and is lacking the real significance and purpose of life.

The author has really put in a natural style for the readers and it is surely a must holiday read. Number three read is A Passage to India (1924), a novel by E. M. Forster, set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s.

Time magazine included the novel in its “TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005″. “Evil Under the Sun” is on the number four spot for classic reads. This novel is a work of detective creative writing by Agatha Christie. Collins Crime Club in June 1941 was the first one to publish it in the UK.

The novel begins with; “A quiet holiday at a private hotel in Devon is what Hercule Poirot is looking for, but somewhere in between all his fellow guests there stands a stunning and futile woman who, seems to be totally unaware to her husbands feeling, finds her self attracted towards the concentration of another man who is the husband of another woman. This novel is all set for a scene which prolongs towards a set for carnage, but could the first appearance of the cast really be involved in such a game plan? ” This novel is truly a great holiday thrilling account. Last but not least, the fifth read on the list is Middlesex, a novel by Jeffrey Eugenides.

It was published in 2002 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2003.

The narrator and protagonist, Calliope Stephanides (later called “Cal”), an inter-sexed person of Greek descent, has 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.

The bulk of the novel is devoted to telling his coming-of-age story growing up in Detroit, Michigan in the late 20th century. This story, however, is intertwined with elements of a family saga, meditations on the zeitgeist of the era and bits of contemporary history.
