This collection gives you the opportunity to choose your favourite from the 6 shortlisted contemporary fiction titles for the Man Booker Prize 2012! It includes the Man Booker Prize winner and 2012 Costa Book of the Year, Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies, the sequel to previous Man Booker winner Wolf Hall. It also features The Lighthouse, Alison Moore's melancholic tale of a mother's abandonment of her son, and Tan Twan Eng's The Garden of Evening Mists, the story of a Japanese wartime camp survivor. Jeet Thayil's Narcopolis is a sweeping portrayal of Bombay, a city in collision with itself, while Will Self's Umbrella is a radical novel that skims across generations as it tells the story of a woman who has awoken after 50 years in a coma. Deborah Levy's Swimming Home is a real page-turner that looks at the way depression can affect apparently stable people..
