My mum's a big reader. She always buys me the booker prize shortlist for my birthday (and I wish I had time to read them ) and this is exactly the kind of thing she likes to read. Especially female writers I think, you know, family sagas a la Carol Shields, Margaret Forster...
Anyway, I seem to remember a couple of years ago she saw some sort of booker prize pre-reading thing, perhaps where members of the public got to have their say? Something like that?
Anyone know what I'm going on about?
Or any other gift suggestions for reader (given that she's read a lot more than me so I have no clue about actual books to buy her)?
