| Cider House Rules By: John Irving    | Set in the rural town of Maine, this tale follows the bizarre story of Homer Wells, from his apprenticeship in the orphanage surgery to his adult life running a cider-making factory and the relationship he has with his wife's best friend. | Sea By: John Banville   | When art historian Max Morden returns to the seaside village where he once spent a childhood holiday, he is both escaping from a recent loss and confronting a distant trauma. The Grace family had appeared there, in that long-ago summer, as if from another world, with their worldly ease and candour, unlike any adults Max had met before. |
| No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency By: Alexander McCall Smith  | Wayward daughters. Missing husbands. Philandering partners. Curious conmen. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only - and finest - female private detective. | To Kill a Mockingbird By: Harper Lee  | Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Seen through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. |
