It is a NOVEL, a long narrative work of fiction with some realism. It is often in prose form

and is published as a single book. The word ‘novel’ has been derived from the Italian word ‘novella’ which means “new”. Similar to a short story, a novel has some features like a representation of characters, dialogues,

setting,

plot,

climax, conflict, and resolution.

However, it does not require all the elements to be a good novel. There are many types of novels. They include mysteries, thrillers, suspense, detective, science fiction, romantic, historical, realist or even postmodern.
