At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop
Chosen by Jackie in Toronto, Canada
This book has stayed with me and was one of the most haunting, disturbing and profound books that I have read in a long time. Winner of the International Man Booker Prize, Diop immediately transports the reader into the First World War from the perspective of a Senegalese man fighting for the French and tells of an event that breaks a human being.
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
Chosen by Elaine in Lisnaskea, Northern Ireland
It’s a love letter to the magic of storytelling and the importance of libraries.
