I am not even sure this novel deserves the Prize, that is, it is so different from previous books (the ones I have read)that won the Man Booker . To me it reads more like an independent fiction. Forget about the Prize, read it, you'd enjoy it.<br /><br />I have added Here Comes te Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn to my list TBR.

Man Booker stamp of approval did throw me off a bit because so far I have had confusing, if not down right awful experiences with reading Man Booker won books. I have yet to read it but I think, once I finish my latest read I will try this one. <br /><br />I am sure you have a very long line on your "to-read list" but please do add Nicole Dennis-Benn "Here Comes the Sun" on that list, if you have not already. I just finished it and it is brilliant. Would love to read your take on it and the state of modern day Caribbean literature. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
