Two very contrasting books for this month!
'The White Tiger' by Aravind Adiga. A first novel and winner of the Man Booker Prize 2008
The story is about Balram Halwai who, over the course of seven nights, tells us the terrible and transfixing story of how he came to be a success in life. According to one critic 'At first, this novel seems like a straightforward pulled-up-by-your-bootstraps tale, albeit given a dazzling twist by the narrator's sharp and satirical eye for the realities of life for India's poor ... But the narrative draws the reader further in, and darkens, it becomes clear that Adiga is playing a bigger game ...'
'Twighlight' by Stephanie Myer. 'The sexiest vampire tale for years ... about teenage Bella's chaste romance with a beautiful vampire boy'.
Happy Reading!
See you on Friday 27th February. Please e-mail me to let me know you are coming.
