Lord of the Flies features in the Independent’s list of books that will ‘stick with you and blow your mind’! The books included are, according to the writer, ‘so insightful, they’ve withstood the test of time’. Despite a disappointing lack of women writers, other novels on the list include Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, Huxley’s Brave New World, and the only female entry, Shelley’s Frankenstein.
