|summary=It's been the year with a very contentious shortlist for the [[Man Booker Prize 2011|Booker Prize]]. Any of the books on the longlist would make a good present, but you might want something a little different.
In ''[[The Barbarian Nurseries'' by Hector Tobar|The Barbarian Nurseries]] Hector Tobar looks at a middle-class American family who have struggled hard to live the American dream. Their two young sons go missing with their surly Mexican maid and the situation soon turns into a nightmarish media circus.
For a big book (in all senses of the word) have a look at [[A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe]] or for a slim volume which packs in half a dozen literary prizes we recommend [[Accabadora by Michela Murgia and Silvester Mazzarella (Translator)]].
