That being said, if I had a picture of her that matched your avatar, even I would have trouble telling the difference.

The novel portrays the lives of natives and immigrants in northern Ontario in the 1860s. It is cold and harsh - and a murder changes everything.

Ianucci said he fell in love with Penney's novel after about 50 pages. "We felt that this was not just an extraordinary first novel but also an extraordinary novel," said the writer and broadcaster. "It was a very ambitious undertaking."

On Beauty - by Zadie Smith - another brilliant set of characters - again, not my usual read (bought for me - I usually do espionage/thriller types) - rather 'intellectual' in places, ie, set in a university back drop - but well worth the time invested in it. The kind of book I might even read again - which I rarely do - 7 out of 10

How about The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. or My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult, both current favourites of mine.
