The Butterfly Cabinet: A Novel
My novel [of the year] would probably beThe Butterfly Cabinetby Bernie McGill, which is based, I think, on a true story, about the darkness inside all of us, and how politeness and education will not always prevent us hurting even those who need us most. McGill has the ability to enter into the brain and heart of her characters and so to make us sympathise with people who commit acts we abhor.
