Mr Pip is listed in your tags as 'Australian literature', hence the reaction...
I myself live in Wellington NZ.
People react differently to Grossman's book, I look forward to reading what you think.

I watched Case Histories on TV (cable) and like you I thought it was very well done and the main character was perfectly cast.
Today I finished The Soldier's Tale and your description of it as "unsettling" is on the mark. I think there's a lot which can be examinedd and I can't wait for my first ANZLitLovers discussion. And BTW thank you for asking me to join because I might not otherwise have read A Soldier's Tale and I'm glad I did.
See you there
