September's book review winner
      #155157 - 25/07/2008 14:25

This month’s winner is Audrey McIlvain, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Audrey reviewed The Post Birthday World by Lionel Shriver

“Irina McGovern’s future hangs on a birthday kiss and the decisions taken thereafter. Gripping from the start, Shriver’s compassionate writing instantly draws you into Irina’s dilemma. Who will she go for? Her partner, the safe, supportive Lawrence, or Ramsey, the hard-living snooker player? The book’s parallel-universe structure enables Shriver to explore the possibilities, flaws and repercussions of Irina’s possible choices. This book is engaging and unsettling, and I found it impossible not to care what happens.”

Well done Audrey!
