As someone who didn’t love Under the Net - The Sea, The Sea and A Severed Head are some of my favorite books of all time. I would recommend giving her another go.

I'm always surprised to see Under the Net thrown around as her most well-known and most recommended book.
I think you'll get a better sense of her style and voice from the other books.
