I'm halfway through Offshore. Not quite enjoying yet it as much as The Bookshop but there's lot's to like, the children are great and the writing is absolutely first class. Loved this bit about the methodically minded Richard, when he starts expecting something to happen that has never happened before: "He was not satisfied with the way his mind was working. Something was out of phase. He did not recognise it as hope."

Finished Offshore last night, it was excellent. Ended up voting for Hitchhikers for sentimental reasons.

Belated agreement, amused that we were (presumably) the two voters for this.
