Unaccustomed Earth written by Jhumpa Lahiri
and
The Master written by Colm Tóibín

-and -
NW by Zadie Smith - "...the intertwined stories of a group of Londoners, linked by the council estate they grew up on, trying to negotiate adult life in an era of arrested development. The complex topography of modern London is explored in a dazzling portrait of aspiration and apathy, change and continuity, the social and personal barriers between people and how they can be breached. As Smith threads together her characters' inner and outer worlds, every sentence sings."
