The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon.

Another of the books chosen by the Saint John's Book Club, this is the story of Christopher, a self-described math expert, with behavioral problems. Although it is not stated, he is autistic, probably with aspergers. It is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of this 15 year old boy, living in England, his father with whom he lives, and his mother whom he travels to London to find.

I liked it a lot, even though most of the mathematics was way over my head.

Sarah's Key

A tough subject, but very readable, and I really enjoyed it. The story is told by two people. One is Sarah, a ten year old Jewish girl in France, rounded up by the French police in July 1942. She leaves behind her four year old brother, locked in a cupboard. And it is also the story of an American woman, a journalist in France, married to a Frenchman. Their lives become joined, when the journalist discovers her French family took over the apartment Sarah left, and then searches for the "rest of the story".
