Must-read books of 2016
five top predictions
·
The High
Mountains of Portugal, Yann Martel
·
This is
Yann Martel's fourth novel and it already has everyone buzzing. It's not
hard to understand why - he won the 2002 Man Booker Prize for his breakthrough
title Life of Pi, which became a Hollywood film. Starting in Lisbon in 1904,
The High Mountains of Portugal tells the story of a young man
called Tomas, who finds an old journal hinting at a deep secret. The book
weaves three different stories into a road-trip across four centuries and two
continents, exploring themes of love, loss and heartbreak along the way. It
could turn out to be a serious awards contender – even those who weren't
pleased with Martel's last book, Beatrice and Virgil, are putting this on their
must-read lists.

The Pier Falls, by Mark Haddon
·
Mark Haddon,
of The Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night-time fame, will have his first
collection of short stories published this May. The tales touch upon themes
such as war, abandonment and natural disasters, all leading to a death of
sorts, although his wife apparently asked him to write at least one where no
one dies. Haddon says
the stories "are bound together by an empathy for sometimes unlovable
people in difficult situations". If your interest is piqued, you can read
the first of these, The Pier Falls, in the New Statesman.

Barkskins,
Annie Proulx
·
Brokeback
Mountain author Annie Proulx has spent ten years working on Barkskins and it
looks set to become a bestseller even before publication. Set in 17th-century
New France and reaching all the way to China and New Zealand, the book tells
the story of two settlers and their trials and sorrows. The book has already
been picked up by Scott Rudin Productions and a mini-series set to premiere
globally in 171 countries and 45 languages is planned. Could it be as
successful as Brokeback Mountain?
