I am on the love/loss rollercoaster today because I have just finished this astonishing, remarkable, incredible (enough gushing?) book:
It is very apparent to me why it won the Booker Prize. Very. To me, this book had the right mix of fascinating topic (Jewishness and what it entails) and a wonderful pace and accessibility.
The only frustrating thing about the book is I wanted to immerse myself in it and, well, with work and kids, who has the time?
My favourite book of all time is another Booker winner from years ago: Possession by AS Byatt. I think The Finkler Question must surely be in my top five though.
A gem.

Excellent, will add it to my list, I don't get to read nearly enough right now, but better to read quality over quantity!
good to know.
My dad was reading it and really liked it.
I almost picked it up the other day because I think it's sounds interesting.

I really think you would like A Town Like Alice.

I really liked it- though without ruining it, still not sure how I felt about the ending...
