From classics to contemporary, we’ve compiled a selection of Booker-nominated novels that make a big impact in around 200 pages or less. They may be small, but they’re perfectly formed
I'm a sucker for a shortie and these are great suggestions. Two others I'd flag - neither as short I think as Small Things Like These or Treacle Walker, but probably shorter than the others on this list - are John Fuller's Flying to Nowhere (shortlisted in 1983), about the disappearance of pilgrims at an island monastery, and J. L. Carr's much-loved A Month in the Country, shortlisted in 1980 and as beautiful and nostalgic an afternoon's reading experience as you could wish for.
It is an enormous hurdle for people in Africa that publishers simply say " Not available in your region" both for books or Audible. I understand the publishing rights but why not in Africa? We have more than enough challenges, please bring this to the attention of the publishers? my daughter in the USA is unable to send me a book as a gift due to this??? Thank you
