Ooohh ... Lionel Shriver's books are always thought-provoking, and this was no exception. There's no one else quite like her.

I finished this last night, just under the wire for September. Wow. This will be one of those books that I need to chew on for awhile.

Yep, that's Shriver all right! :-)

A bit late in posting this update, but in September I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, which was just astonishingly good. It had only just received the Women's Prize for Fiction a few days before I started reading it.

This one looks so good. I think I'll read it for next years challenge.

September was the month of another read from my Around the World in 80 Books list. I try to read more books from foreign and also lesser known authors. My September read won the Kathleen Mitchell Award in 2014: Beneath the Darkening Sky
