Normally, I dont bother buying books with glamorous looking women on the front page. To me that somehow symbolizes cheap trash, and I steer clear of it pretty much all the time. This book however had won the Booker price, and that is how I decided to give it a try..
I wasnt disappointed, the Man Booker price committee definitely knows how to select books :) - the book had all the things I look for - style, story and structure. I wonder where the author learnt to write like that - it is almost like watching a painting come to life - a little bit of each character and each event at a time. The story itself was something any trashy writer could have made up - but the difference is in the narration. Great read.
