... all these:
Half of the Human Race by Anthony Quinn. I'm half way through this novel of cricket and suffragettes, and it's very good indeed.
The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party by Alexander McCall Smith. Book 12 in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. A girl who can 'taste' the emotions with which food is imbued - interesting.
Disputed Land by Tim Pears. A family Christmas in the Welsh Marches and a question of inheritance arises.
The Sentimentalists by Johanna Skibsrud. This debut novel won Canada's Giller Prize last year.
I'd better go and get on.
