I can see why it won the Booker, it's densely populated with character and imagery. Enough tragedy to fill a Oscar winning fillum to be sure. The strength is in the omnipresent terror of the troubles, and the omniscient knowledge of gossip in a community. You're never really sure who or what is going on, but slowly as the story reveals itself, those half thoughts in your head fully form and you realise you don't need to know someone's name to know who they are.
