The Other Booker Prize - Azila Talit Reisenberger

The fantastical Abigail Pearlmuter, a woman of high intelligence, energy and plenty of chutzpah, does not fit snugly into a particular mould.

Realizing that life is a series of compromises, Abigail decides that for once she wants to do exactly as she likes and embarks on an epic voyage that takes her to the ends of the world.

In The Other Booker Prize she is telling her story with self-deprecating wit and dead-pan humour.

The storyline is ready to meander in any direction as she jokes, confesses, affirms and theorizes; yet, on occasion, it grows intensely dramatic and makes us cheer - when she metes out some revenge on a past abuser.

It is addictive reading, as we are drawn into the stories and feel part of it, as if they take part in our own living room.
