I have a tradition going with my nephew .. he's very well-read and every year I take on the challenge of sending him something he hasn't already come across. I've often chosen English translations of books set in Eastern Europe or Russia but I don't always succeed in finding a book he hasn't read.
In recent years I've sent:
Second Hand Time
The Pear Field
The Tsar of Love and Techno
Angel Maker
The Gone-Away World
The Story of a Life
I wondered about Prophet Song this year but would like one or two other novels to add to it. Any suggestions gratefully received.
TIA 😊
