I nominate Beauty Is a Wound by Eka Kurniawan

I nominate The Known World by Edward P. Jones

[Hugh]

Thanks Ami

I nominate The Tiger's Wife, although Beauty is a Wound sounds so tempting ;)

Thanks Nadine. This is already looking like a good set of nominations.

I would like to nominate Golden Hill by Francis Spufford

Thanks Navi - another good choice!

The Tiger's Wife has won the poll. Are you willing to moderate the discussion Nadine?

Sure! Will you create the thread for it or is that something I should do?

[Hugh]

We will create the folder a day or two before the start date, and you can create the discussion threads. My fellow moderators and I will be happy to help or answer any questions.
