I promised I would find a little more information on our Christmas read The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. This hefty tome won the 2013 Man Booker Prize.
Here is what Telegraph's Lucy Daniel had to say about it in October 2013. Bill Roorbach (What an incredible name for a book reviewer!) in a Sunday Book Review from The New York Times has this to say about it.
All in all it sounds like it a great way to spend the Christmas break! I can't wait till someone brings their copy back so I can get reading it!
Hope you get time to try out a few other books as well! Happy reading!
