One of the author's six best books, as shared at the Daily Express:
FRANNY AND ZOOEY
by JD Salinger

I love his use of language and he has an amazing way of observing human character and behaviour. What stayed with me particularly is Franny’s story of not being understood when you are a young woman. It is that feeling of confusion and conflict.
Read about another entry on the list.

Franny and Zooey also appears among Alex Preston's top ten fictional characters struggling with faith and Colette McIntyre's list of eight books every college-bound student should read.
