Win a copy of The Chimes

Win a copy of The Chimes - I can't explain to you how excited I am that Anna Smaill is on the Man Booker Prize longlist this year, for her excellent book The Chimes. Here is my review of it, and a Q & A with Anna I did in February this year. A mind-expanding literary debut composed of memory, music and imagination. A boy stands on the roadside on his way to London, alone in the rain.No memories, beyond what he can hold in his hands at any given moment. No directions, as written words have long since been forbidden. No parents - just a melody that tugs at him, a thread to follow. A song that says if he can just get to the capital, he may find some answers about what happened to them. The world around Simon sings, each movement a pulse of rhythm, each object weaving its own melody, music ringing in every drop of air. A stunning debut composed of memory, music, love and freedom, The Chimes pulls you into a world that will captivate, enthral and inspire. We have a copy of The Chimes to give away. To be in to win via email, email info@booksellers.co.nz with the subject line 'Chimes', and tell us what instrument you would play in a world of music. The competition closes on Thursday 6 August, at 12 noon.
