Deborah answers “Here is my request: Assuming that I love...”

Mike Nelson asked this question about The Magus:

Here is my request: Assuming that I love "The Magus" (which I do), please recommend one novel which I might enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed "The Magus". (Background ... I loved "The Magus" because it is exceptionally well written, and also because the "psycho-social" context resonates so strongly with the culture of those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s. I have, BTW, read "The French Lieutenant's Woman".) ??
