I have started Small Island by Andrea Levy.
This is the next Bookclub selection. The book is about immigrants to the UK from Jamaica in the late 1940s. Since my knowledge of 20th Century history is limited, I guess I have something to learn. I am daunted by the 500+ pages, but it is not too hard to read. I like the structure of the book - each chapter is written from a specific person's viewpoint and there are something like 4 or 5 people represented. I guess the book must be good, as it won both the Orange and Whitbread prizes this year.
