The Memory Keeper's Daughter
This is one of the most intriguing books that I have read in a very long time. The doctor, who is the title figure, becomes one of the saddest people that I can remember in any novel. His decision to give up one of his twins at birth haunts him throughout his life ...

Yann Martel

Harvest Books, 2003

Math v religion, the life of Pi
I'm probably really stretching things but I find it hard to believe that Martel would write a whole book and title it The Life of Pi without giving a thought to mathematics. To my mind, Pi's 227 days on the raft (227 is a prime number) represents a struggle to find ...
