The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton
You will either love this book or be extremely irritated by it - always supposing you have the stamina to read beyond page 300. I loved it, and found the artificial construction fascinating. At heart it is a murder mystery, in which twelve men whose characters reflect the signs of the zodiac are all unreliable narrators. Following the pattern of the moon, the narrative ends where it began. Very clever, beautifully written.
