Yann Martel recommends
The Toss of a Lemon
The Toss of a Lemon (2008)
Padma Viswanathan
"The Toss of a Lemon joins the company of the great novels on India."
The Cellist of Sarajevo
The Cellist of Sarajevo (2008)
Steven Galloway
"A grand and powerful novel about how people retain or reclaim their humanity when they are under extreme duress... Galloway's novel does the work of a good fiction: it transports you to a situation that might be alien to you, makes it familiar, and so brings understanding. While reading The Cellist of Sarajevo you are imaginatively there, in Sarajevo, as the mortar shells are falling and snipers are seeking to kill you as you cross a street. Your mind's eye sees, your moral sense is outraged: your full humanity is being exercised."
The Elephant's Journey
The Elephant's Journey (2010)
José Saramago
"A novel of wit, warmth and wonder."
Dog Boy
Dog Boy (2010)
Eva Hornung
"Extraordinary, compelling and utterly believable."
