OK, you busy exiles, who will be the first to read the prize winning book. I have just received it and it awaits me, on top of a pile of other 'must reads'

For those who have never heard of it, it is written by a Belfast woman, Anna Burns. A review said "Original and thought-provoking...That she successfully tackles her serious mission with razor-sharp wit, warm humour and great compassion is even more impressive."

Would love to hear the first review from you!




Have a happy day!

i'm in melbourne at the moment and went to the library at mount waverly to try to borrow the book. the nice lady studied the computer and said we have 5 copies but all out, you are fifteen on waiting, so must be popular. i,m looking forward to having my turn tom

Thanks Joe and Thomas! Oh dear, now somebody will ask me if I enjoyed reading it. It is still on my "read next" pile! Trouble is darned Macular trouble, and my eyes get tired after a while! But I am still looking forward to it! Maybe soon!
