It is my turn to pick our next book for our book club and I am stumped. And a bit scared TBH.
It needs to be fairly highbrow and literary I'm afraid. I don't know the other women all that well (apart from the friend who introduced me to the group) and they have all been picking books that are either literary classics or modern winners of Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. So no chick lit - I think I would be kicked out of the group 
I'd like to do something English or British because our current book is Runaway (Alice Munro) set in Canada.
I've already read lots of classics myself but don't really mind a repeat. I just want a book that won't make me look stupid.
So wise MNers - any recommendations?
