First, you start her off with the obvious connection, White Tiger, then you delve a little deeper with The God of Small Things, then a triple KO punch of Sleeping in Flame, Bel Canto, and The Blind Assassin.

The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood.

While it's won a fucktonne of awards, I'm yet to find anyone that has actually finished it, or can tell me what it's actually about. It's the most warped book in existance. With little/no punctuation, poor writing style and confusing plot jumps it's just completly warped.

I won a copy of this book and started to read it. When I gave up I put a notation in the book in pencil "dannyr got this far and gave up". My wife, four co-workers, a few friends of my wife etc have all similar marks in the book.

It's almost a standing joke in the family. Whenever someone says they're looking for a new book to read I give them this.
