I am somewhat ashamed to admit that it has been sitting here on my table for a year, since the last winter holidays, because the ONLY fiction I have read in 2004 has been Patrick O'Brian. Am finishing Blue at the Mizzen now, will read 21, and then will be lost at sea with no more sailors.
Last Magician starts with a line from Dante and never lets up. It's one of my all-time greats. And if you need a break from Hospital: Marina Warner's The Leto Bundle is utter genius.
