I searched on Google for predictions for the Man Booker International longlist. You Goodreads post came up as a source. I had gone through it and I liked some of your choices There was one book in particular, which was about a young girl hiding from the nazis under the floor boards. She was discovered by a couple who took her in and raised her as their own. Not only can I not remember the author or the title, but also when I type the search again, I cannot get onto the page as it says there is a problem… Can you help me find it please.
Do you mean the page for the longlist guesses? Or are you looking for a particular book we brought up? Right now I am not seeing it either, but I can link you to the Goodreads speculation thread.
Thanks, it was a book mentioned in the predictions/ guesses. As I said earlier the link from Google wouldn’t load, I thought it might have been removed. If you could send the link that would be great
Thanks
Dave
