That's one of those books I've always been meaning to read but has thus far slipped through the cracks of my bedside table.

I'm fond of thick 19th century-style novels, but I'm not the speediest of readers, unfortunately - and my TBR pile is daunting as it it without the addition of an 800-page monster...<br /><br />For another West Coast, NZ read, have you read The Bone People? It divides readers - even in NZ, where it was proclaimed "The Best New Zealand novel EVAR" on its publication. I'm a little ambivalent towards it, myself, but as it won the Booker, it has become sort of the unofficial "NZ book the world must read." <br /><br />Evannoreply@blogger.com
