Book of the year 2009

To not have a TV has its advantages, I have had so much extra time this year to just enjoy books. It has therefore been more difficult to choose my favourite book for 2009. However, after much deliberation I choose The Outcast by Sadie Jones. It was one of the few books I read this year that I just couldn’t put down and wished it never ended. Jones’ writing is easy to read and her characters were well written. The outcast is also one of the books I have recommended to most people this year. I look forward to read her latest book Small wars, which was published this past autumn.

My recommendations: The reluctant fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid (a close second for book of the year)
