In 2016, Heywood Hill celebrated its 80th anniversary. In honour of the occasion, distinguished authors were asked to share the single book - published in English in the last 80 years - that has meant the most to them and to provide a three-word justification for their choice. 

The brilliant Donna Leon chose 'A Suitable Boy' by Vikram Seth: 

"It's wonderfully funny" 

This idea was inspired by our popular literary subscription service 'A Year in Books'. Find out more here
