My guests this week were Peter Lawrence and Maggie Perkovic. Books reviewed were
How I live Now by Meg Rosoff - Possibly one of the most talked about books of the year, Meg Rosoff’s novel for young adults is the winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize 2004. Heralded by some as the next best adult crossover novel since Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
(a blast from the past): Parson Hardings Daughter by Caroline Harvey (aka Joanna Trollope)
Colm Tóibín’s beautiful Brooklyn (a worthy successor to Henry James)
The Girl of his Dreams by Donna Leon (If you like tough action crime thrillers, you won't like this).
We also discussed briefly the Man Booker nominations and looked at the top ten bestselling books
