Thoughtful, longer, generally good-vibed book to keep on me while i backpack central europe this summer?? Something intriguing enough to keep me hooked but not so fast-paced i devour it in days. I need it to last me at least a month!

2013 booker prize winner, intricately plotted murder mystery - gets better and better as you go until you’re fully consumed. When you finish it (all 848 pages), you’ll want to read it again…

“Brilliant, gorgeously written tale about the Gold Coast of NZ. Also very long - will last you the flight. (PS: there's also a TV show version from the BBC, but I did not fully finish it, and you know what they say about book>TV).”
