Carlos Ruiz Zafon: The Angel's Game
Loved the first book, Shadow of the Wind, not so much The Angel's Game. The journey was much better than the end.
Abraham Verghese: Cutting for Stone: A novel
A huge book with a big story. Incredibly well written by a prolific author. I am going to go back and read his other books. Extraordinary novel.
Kathryn Stockett: The Help
Loved this book. The voice of black domestic help in the 1960's as we learn what it was like from their angle. First novel.
Geoff Dyer: Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi: A Novel
Came highly recommended. Lots of high praise from some serious writers on the cover. Didn't do it for me, at all. Alas.
Tatiana de Rosnay: Sarah's Key
Must read
