Literary Fiction
Literary Fiction is where beautiful writing takes centre stage. Forget breakneck plots — this genre is all about the *how*, not just the *what*. Expect deeply complex characters, lush prose, and stories that hold a mirror up to the human condition. These are books that make you dog-ear pages, stare out windows, and question everything. They're messy, rich, and gloriously uncomfortable in the best way. From family sagas to quiet character studies, Literary Fiction refuses to tie things up neatly — because life doesn't either. Read it slowly. Feel every word. You'll finish changed.
