Zeitoun

It's obviously the year of reading brilliant books I've missed. First Mockingbird and now Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.  I picked it up in the excellent Bromley House Library, £60 a year and worth every penny, and read it straight through.  A true account of what happened to one man and his family in New Orleans during Katrina.  Brilliant. Below is an excellent article from the Guardian that puts it into context.
