She has a rare ability to portray sentiment with absolutely no sentimentality. Isabel Wilkerson's <strong>The Warmth of Other Suns</strong><em> </em>(Random House) is a fresh and wonderful history of African-American migration. Chang-rae Lee's <strong>The Surrendered</strong> (Little, Brown) is a grave, beautiful novel about people who experienced the Korean war and the war's legacy. And David Remnick's <strong>The Bridge</strong> (Picador) is a thorough and well-written biography of Barack Obama. The many Americans who believe invented biographical details about Obama would do well to read it.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/nov/27/christmas-books-year-roundup">Continue reading...</a> Best books of the year Best books Books Culture Fiction Poetry History Biography Business and finance Children and teenagers Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Julian Barnes William Boyd AS Byatt Blake Morrison Andrew Motion Margaret Drabble Jeanette Winterson John Banville Mary Beard Jonathan Coe Jilly Cooper Roddy Doyle Helen Dunmore Ian Rankin Tom Stoppard Rose Tremain Helen Simpson Colm Tóibín Dave Eggers Richard Ford John Gray Hanif Kureishi Hilary Mantel David Lodge Stephen Frears Teen books Children's books: 8-12 years Children's books: 7 and under Best books of 2010 Sat, 27 Nov 2010 00:10:00 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/nov/27/christmas-books-year-roundup Photograph: PR Detail of an illustration by Kate Slater Photograph: PR Detail of an illustration by Kate Slater Guardian Staff 2010-11-27T00:10:00Z
