Shirley Hazzard on her holiday reading list

Most of us, throughout the year, make ourselves promises about the books we really must get round to - whether they're classics or contemporary - but there's never enough time to get going. Holidays are a good opportunity to catch up so we've been inviting authors to share their must reads with us.

Shirley Hazzard's novel The Great Fire was short-listed for the Orange Prize and won the National Book Award in the United States. So what was on her holiday reading list?
 
If you're looking for inspirational holiday reading take a look the Best of the Best ten winners of the Orange Prize for fiction.  Don't forget to email us your views and in September you'll be able to nominate the book you think is Best of the Best.
