I teach a year-long 10th grade English class and would like to add a new novel to our curriculum. I'd like something from a world culture other than the US, as the majority of the novels I have are set in the US. Currently we read (for novels) Of Mice and Men, A Separate Peace, and Z for Zachariah. These are very different in terms of difficulty, but they all work well in terms of discussion and analysis.
In general, I'd like a novel that would appeal to the age group and be about 200 (give or take) pages. In addition, it has to be a novel that will encourage discussion (vs. one that would be read more for just entertainment). Finally, as much as I would love to include Mockingbird or Lord of the Flies, or Gatsby, these are all taken by other curriculums in the school.
Thanks for any input!
