The Inheritance of Loss.

Ahh.. I loved this book. Yesterday I rushed out and bought the other 5 Orange nominees (see below) based on how much I enjoyed this even though they are clearly not connected in brillance. A part of me wanted to have something to look foward to, reading wise, after I turned the last page of this beautifully written book.

My plan is to read all the ones on the shortlist before the winner is announced. That way I can nod and say "ooh yes I completely agree/disagree with the judges" (circle as appropriate) and look all knowledgeable and well informed.
