I am not organizing this bookray, but I am currently reading it. There weren't many participants that signed up so I thought I would help the orgainizer (max9) and advertise it here as well.

max9 is willing to add more participants at any time. The book is currently in the US but I believe the ray is international...you've have to confirm that though. Contact max9 through BC if you are interested.

Here are some of its awards:

Winner of the Whitbread Novel Award 2005
Shortlisted for the 2005 Man Booker Prize
Shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2006

I tried to get a ray going for this book also, but only got one participant who I sent it along to.
I must admit though I found it a very hard book to get in to and in fact I didn't finish it (not often that happens to me).

Hope you get some more interest.

:D

I agree that it is very difficult to get into. The writing style is not to my liking AT ALL. The story line had potential but it wasn't executed that well. This would make a good reveal in the crap swap, if you ask me. It has won awards and I know there are some favorable reviews out there so there must be some people that see it differently. :shrug:
