    I am really interested to know what you think of the Unsworth. I read Losing Nelson and thought it was a great read -- creative, entertaining, memorable.

    Sacred Hunger, for which Unsworth won the Booker Prize in 1992, is on my TBR shelf. If I like it as much as I did Losing Nelson, then he is going on my list of favorite (if underappreciated) authors.

    The Allende is very appealling looking. I do love epistolary novels. And of course you can't go wrong with elephants!

    I'm nodding along with everyone else who's excited about Isabel Allende's new book. I'll have to pick it up, and will definitely tune in to the interview on BCG.
