A. Christie, Death in the clouds
A. Christie, The Hollow
W. Dalrymple, Return of a King
Unlike the Booker, the Samuel Johnson prize seems to have been awarded right. Excellent though Dalrymple's is, The Pike is astounding. Wonderful subject, wonderful period, wonderfully told. Importantly, looked at sympathetically, though without sentiment. It's a marvel.
