She seems to be okay, as she is posting in other sections.  I think she must have forgotten it's her turn to come up with a new puzzle.

Good job, Frybabe!  That's it - THE NARROW ROAD TO THE DEEP NORTH by Richard Flanagan.  I also thought it looked good.  It's been longllisted for this year's Man Booker Prize.

I don't think it is a book for the faint-hearted, though, Marj.



Children's book, fiction, over a century old. I think it is the first of a series.
