For the benefit of those (like myself) who like to look up books nominated for awards, I just wanted to note that the Zoë Ferraris book is being published in the U.S. with the title "Finding Nouf". (I bought it this past weekend because it sounded good.) Thanks for posting all the award nominations!
Thanks for pointing that out, Dorie. I didn't know. I've now inserted a note about the two titles into the original post.
Cheers,
Jeff
Same goes for Gregg Hurwitz - the book was published last summer over here as THE CRIME WRITER.
