Something confused me a lot about relative clause. For example, If I say
The book of the writer that I like is one of the bestsellers.
What I want to emphasize here that the book of the writer is what I like not writer so is this usage ok ? I mean it sounds to me as if the liked thing is writer here not book.
I just made the sentence up to explain what confuses me.I hope I could explain what I mean.
It is ambiguous. You can resolve this by moving things around:
The book I like best by this writer is . . . or
This writer's book I like best is . . .
or by using different words:
My favorite book by this writer is . . .
