Hi Alison,
Garden of Evening Mist was the only one I read from last year's list that I
actually enjoyed. I think my favorite booker book of the last few years was
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. It's a western, but not like any I've
read before. I'm not a fan of westerns but this one was so funny and strangely
written I loved it.
