About Friendship Fiction

Friendship fiction includes novels that focus on the central theme of “friendship” as the main guiding factor of the plot. Though there are usually also secondary and tertiary plots, the primary focus of the book must be the friendships between main character or main group of characters. This can be shown in one on one relationships, such as in The Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini, or in group settings, like in Stephen King’s It. The friendships of the main character will be tested, broken, grown, and strengthened throughout the book. Friendship fiction can be found within any other subgenre of Fiction, though it is most often considered General Fiction. As friendships can be particularly powerful in youth and teenage years, this type of novel is often found within Children’s Literature and other coming-of-age tales, such as in Holes by Louis Lowry. However, other books, which might predominantly be described with another genre, can still qualify as Friendship fiction, such as The Lord of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien; though predominantly considered Fantasy, the central theme and development of the plot hinges on the friendship bond between characters. Other popular and noteworthy examples of Friendship fiction include: Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, and Sula by Toni Morrison.
