I asked my wife (who is also a book club member) for the latest hits and this is a few suggestions she came up with:
The God of small things - Arundhati Roy (Beautifully written / thought provoking and heartbreaking
- Booker prize winner 1997)
The Secret history - Donna Tart (atmospheric / dark, intriguing)
The life of Pi - Yann Martel (bizarre / illuminating - Booker prize winner 2002)
Personally, I would have recommended a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel, or maybe Christopher Brookmyre, but I'm quite low-brow myself
Good luck!
