Clean Book Recommendations

[sky121]

Hello Forum Family,
My Israeli Chassidish brother in law wants to read some novels. But they have to be clean. While my first thought was Grisham, Baldacci, Silva... not all of those are all the way clean. Any recommendations would be great.

Eliav, Weinstock, Lazewnik...

99% of Alistair Maclean if you can find them.

Thanks. I even feel like some of the authors I mentioned above have some clean books but I can't specifically remember which ones.

Dick Francis except for a few.

"Clean" is subjective and relative. Do you mean only sexual content, or violence as well? I hadn't read any of these in more than a decade, but picked up a Grisham book in the airport last week on a whim, and I've only read the very beginning and there's already a fairly graphic description of seduction and a violent domestic fight, so I don't know how accurate this list is.

Is he looking to read literary fiction or some other kind?
Modern authors only, or are classics acceptable (easier to find clean ones there...)?
(Will he be reading in English or in translation?)

I opened this thread thinking that someone was looking for a good accountant

Someone once posted here a website that rates books (kashrus wise)

I think Terry Pratchett is pretty clean, if he likes the humor/fantasy genre.

They just wrote a letter today saying their numbers should not be relied upon

I took it to mean sexual content; Alistair Maclean's book do have violence, but definitely on the tame end.

Yeah, he could deal with the violence I believe. I mostly meant sexual content.
