March's book suggestion

OK, I give in. Not only do we have Val suggesting Orange Prize winners, Helen S and Helen D being keen on the idea and Kirsty suggesting we read We need to talk about Kevin (most recent winner), but now Helen S tells me that Radio 4 is doing that book in March (www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/bookclub/). So, let's do We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver for March. I'm expecting it to be very bleak - don't go blaming me if it is! But it looks superbly written, so let's give it a go.

But what have you thought of Memoirs of a Geisha?
