This is a very good book, better in fact than Another Country I think. If you haven't read the set of short stories called 'Going to meet the man', they are worth checking out. I read them when I was 15/16, and I remember that the final story - the title of the book - made a lasting impression on me. It is 10 or 15 pages that everyone should read.
I'd recommend two of favourites this year –
Kazuo Ishiguro – Never Let Me Go. (Definitely unnerving and sad)
Paul Auster – Brooklyn Follies. (Pretty light but beautifully written)
