Then there was the book’s other landscape. Its setting, its departure from my familiar attracted me. It was in post-Thatcher, inner-city South London that I first turned to Camberwell library’s worn copy of The Bone People. We want to hear your thoughts too, and invite you to comment below or on the Great Kiwi Classic Facebook page (all comments made before Monday 12 May go in the draw to win one of three giveaway copies of The Bone People). Siobhan Harvey, Harry Rickets, Peter Simpson, Courtney Sina Meredith and Geoff Walker respond to these questions in the lead-up to the Great Kiwi Classic ‘book club’ panel discussion at Auckland Writers Festival on May 18. We asked a selection of book people to tell us about the first time they read The Bone People, what they thought of the book, and what they think are the hallmarks of a classic and whether The Bone People hits the mark.
