One paragraph from her entry:
Visit Helena Frith Powell's website, and read about her top ten list of "sexy French books."At the moment I am reading The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh and The Pyramid by the Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, two very different books, but I am about to go to India and Sweden to interview them and so need to do some research. I have never read a crime book before apart from Raymond Chandler; it is fun, easy reading but I'm not sure I will ever be mad about the genre. I like the Ghosh enormously, it is atmospheric, tragic, almost epic in scope.[read on]
