As a librarian I feel I should read award winning books, such as this book by Madeleine Thien.  This beautiful tale takes us into China both before and after the Tienanmen Square protests and how people have come to terms with what happened.

What kind of books are hanging around your bedside that you aren't putting away since you plan to read them soon.
