Bailey's/Orange Women's Fiction Group discussion

Please nominate any books from the Current 2014 list.
This will be for September 2014 vote, which will open 25th July.

i would like to nominate The Bear, by Claire Cameron.


i have owned this one for a while...but i think the group read would help me get to it sooner. plus -- it might be scary. heh!! so support for that kind of read is never a bad thing. :)

from the book's description:

"Told from the point of view of a six-year-old child, The Bear is the story of Anna and her little brother, Stick--two young children forced to fend for themselves in Algonquin Park after a black bear attacks their parents. A gripping and mesmerizing exploration of the child psyche, this is a survival story unlike any other, one that asks what it takes to survive in the wilderness and what happens when predation comes from within."

I am going to nominate:
The Strangler Vine by M.J. Carter
which Susan nominated for August, but does not look likely to win now. (If it does I will change my nomination.)
It is a detective novel set in pre-Raj India, when power was in the hands of the East India Company and assorted Indian princes and a cholera pandemic raged through Asia, Europe and the Americas.
The idea for the story and setting sound good and M. J. (Miranda) Carter is a historian, so has probably done the research necessary to bring it to life. My other reason for nominating it is that my local library has a copy, so I can read it for free. (The library does not have any of the other long-listed books I have not read yet.)

The vote for the September book will go up in a few days time. Are there any more nominations?
