I quite recently finished The Magus by John Fowles, which I found to be quite a compelling read. Taking part on a small Greek island in the 1950s, the plot centers on an Englishman who becomes the pawn in some elaborate psychological game directed by an old foreign gentleman he meets whilst on the island. In particular, the fact that neither you as the reader nor the main character are quite sure about what is real, what is acting and what is illusion as the main story progresses kept me reading and enjoying the twists and turns of the plot.
