David Haig is an English actor perhaps best known to US audiences for Two Weeks Notice (2002), My Boy Jack (2007), and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). One of his six best books, as shared at the Daily Express:

OSCAR AND LUCINDA by Peter Carey

An eccentric couple of loners in Victorian times find love. The concept of building a glass church for the women you love is just fantastic.

I love the way it is written and you feel people should not judge others just because they’re odd or don’t conform.

Oscar and Lucinda also appears among Katharine Norbury's top ten books about rivers, the Guardian's ten best unconsummated passions in fiction, and Elise Valmorbida's top ten books on the migrant experience, and on John Mullan's lists of ten of the best horse races in literature, ten of the best fossils in literature, ten of the best thin men in literature and ten of the best card games in literature.
