Between January and April 2008, choose four books in one category, or one book from each category. And the categories are (by author):
- African
- Asian
- Indian
- Latino
- Middle Eastern
- Native Peoples
I have chosen the second challenge, one from each category. While my list is subject to change, it currently stands as:
African: Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi (Nigeria)
Asian: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - Lisa See (China)
Indian: Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard - Kiran Desai (India)
Latino: Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Maquez (Colombia)
Middle Eastern: The Saffron Kitchen - Yasmin Crowther (Iran)
Native Peoples: The Whale Rider - Witi Ihimaera (New Zeland - Maori)
