Literary Blog Hop: Under-appreciated literary fiction

Literary Blog Hop is hosted by The Blue Bookcase. If you features book reviews of literary fiction, classic literature, and general literary discussion, you too can join in!

This week's question:

What literary title (fiction or non-fiction) do you love that has been under-appreciated?  We all know about the latest Dan Brown, and James Patterson isn't hurting for publicity.  What quiet masterpiece do you want more readers to know?

I read Novel About My Wife by Emily Perkins in 2008. It is about being married, the intricacies of it, the intimacy of it. Tom is very much in love with his wife, Ann, who is pregnant. They move to a new house and she sees a man stalking her. Is he real or just an imagination of her mind? This is pegged as a Gothic novel.

Perkins has a way with words. Her writing has many layers to it. I found the novel almost surreal and mystical at places. Intense too. I want more people to read it. Couples, who are in the verge of a relationship or committed to each other. Also single persons who need to know the finer nuances of marriage, love, relationships and the feelings and emotions that go with it.
