Glynis - I've changed the heading of this thread to July - I hope I'm right.
My nomination is Broken by Daniel Clay

You're right, thanks Anne. I'm not thinking straight!

My read of the month would have to be Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks, I just loved every part of this and it will be one of those books that I keep going back 2

Birdsong is such a great book isn't it Ginger? That's a good example of a novel that stretched my thinking (thinking about the 'dear reader' thread).
I loved The Night Watch too. Will be difficult to choose a favourite.
