Story of honour killing in a Kurdish family struggling with the transition of moving from Turkey to England. Full of family drama, culture and history. Worth reading.

Slightly soap operatic tale of murder, palaeontology and politics in 1960's Kenya. Quite a fun read.
I 'm 10 short of this years goal. Will need to line up again in 2014.

Another thriller. Reasonably interesting story about modern day pirates and the tiny country of Djibouti.
