Suite Française
Irene Nemirovsky
One of the publishing sensations of 2006, this is a remarkable tale of life in Nazi-occupied France, written as it was lived through by the author. It was first published 64 years after it was written, and is a fascinating and chilling memoir of domestic life under German occupation. Poignantly, the book will remain unfinished as Nemirovsky died in Auschwitz in 1942.

The Other Side of You
Sally Vickers
As a psychiatrist helps a patient through a trauma of lost love, he is forced to recall the tragic events of his own life. Vickers' superbly subtle narrative reveals - like The Night Watch - a bittersweet tale of love, loss pain and regret.

Moral Disorder
Margaret Atwood
Described as one of Atwood's 'slyest and sweetest' books, this takes the form of ten inter-related stories that move between the present and 1940s wartime Canada, whose central character is a second wife and former mistress. Atwood's magical prose triumphs in this lyrical novel.
