“Five Favorite” is a feature on thewasofshall where I lay out my five favorite “x”. Sometimes they’re relevant to a season or holiday, mostly they’re not. It’s an all-around fun excuse to give my 100% amazingly awesome opinion. To see previous (and future) topics, click here. To participate, scroll all the way down.

In the spirit of the holidays, here my five favorite novels all about family drama. (Because, you know, who doesn’t have some?)

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin — and all of its sequels

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb

Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides

White Oleander by Janet Fitch
