Status Update

Nat K is starting

Book 9 in my Booker Prize shortlist odyssey. An absolute personal best for me (which well may never happen again!).

I was waiting in a very long queue for this at the library, and finally it's mine! Let's see if I can finish it before the Booker is announced on November 10. Wish me luck!

“ ‘There’s always a bloody price tag,’ she said. ‘Nobody gets away with anything. Or perhaps it’s just the women who don’t.”

I’ve gotten just over the half way point of this beautifully written novel. It has a gentle strength to it.

I won’t manage to complete this before the Booker prize is announced tonight. But it’s a mighty fine book and another which I’d be more than happy to see win.
