I liked The Promise a lot. It's the best of the recent Man Booker winners I've read for a while, definitely a great story that the form didn't detract from too much, which hasn't always been the case in recent years.
I saw an interview with him where he recommended Two Serious Ladies by Jane Bowles, which I recently finished. It was weird but left me a bit cold and nonplussed, and he had really raved about it, so I felt a bit let down there.
Great books I've read recently - Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy, which were stunning, and Sally Rooney's Beautiful World, Where Are You.
