The Booker Prize Winner - The Inheritance of Loss by Kirin Desai.

Have a think about your best book of 2006 for next meeting at Stella's place - last meeting of the year.

We all admired Markus Zusak's virtuoso writing in The Book Thief ( even Sue, who thought the Death conceit was a bit overdone in places!) We all admired Markus Zusak himself, interviewed by Caroline Baum on the ABC and videod by Stella. Some are vowing to follow up his Young Adult Fiction titles.
