New review of Elliot Perlman's The Street Sweeper

My review of Elliot Perlman's The Street Sweeper, a 554-page epic spanning over a century of racial prejudice and its consequences, ran in today's Globe and Mail.  It's still early, but it's bound to make my list of favorites for 2012. 

If you decide to pick up the US edition instead, that one is 640 pages.  Either way, it more than qualifies for the Chunkster Challenge.  This makes four chunksters so far for me this year, and I'll be reviewing #5 later this week.
