I have read and enjoyed The Lost Dog**** by Michelle de Kretser of Australia. I had already planned to read the John Berger, Sebastian Barry, and Joseph O'Neill , and was considering the Linda Grant book when I found out more about it. I'll see how many I can get to before the winner is announced.
If you have opinions on any of these books, we'd like to hear from you.
