i would like to nominate The Accidental, by Ali Smith. this book was on the 2006 shortlist, http://www.womensprizeforfiction.co.u....this novel has been on my shelf for ages, so it would be nice to read it with this group.
from the book's description:
"The Accidental is Ali Smith's sparkling novel about a family holiday and a stranger who upends it. Arresting and wonderful, The Accidental pans in on the Norfolk holiday home of the Smart family one hot summer. There a beguiling stranger called Amber appears at the door bearing all sorts of unexpected gifts, trampling over family boundaries and sending each of the Smarts scurrying from the dark into the light. A novel about the ways that seemingly chance encounters irrevocably transform our understanding of ourselves, The Accidental explores the nature of truth, the role of fate and the power of storytelling."

While I'm not certain yet I will get to this in sept, I'd also like to read this... So I'll third it!
Are there any more nominations for September from the Archive?
