Despite our last choice and upcoming read appearing on recent prize lists, it feels there are still a number of worthy choices worth reading. I will nominate Soldier Sailor by Claire Kilroy but would like a moderator's opinion on eligibility since the U.S. edition comes out June 4th.

I can if I have to but I thought Hugh or one of our fellow British Isles members might want to lead this, since they got a headstart with an earlier publication. I am waiting on June 4th for the U.S. audio release before rereading and thus won't be up to date for a few days. But if no one else has an interest or time, I can lead.
