"Arthur and George" - Julian Barnes

Picked this up on the recommendation of my cousin, Sara. Amusingly I bought it at Half Price Books AND got the book on CD from the library; ended up listening to it at work. Very compelling narrative, and the reader was excellent. Don't remember his name, but he's British and did a great job distinguishing the various voices. The Arthur of the title is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. George is a lesser known figure - Mr. George Edalji, son of an Indian father and a Scottish mother, who became a solicitor and wrote a book on railway law. The novel covers their separate lives from boyhood until chance and tragedy bring them together. I haven't read anything else by Julian Barnes, but I certainly shall; this is engrossing and very well told.
