But equally you could say there were two historical mysteries (The Daughter of Time and Alias Grace), two Classics (Edwin Drood and The Scarlet Pimpernel), one thriller (A Delicate Truth), three sort of SF (The Left Hand of Darkness, The House on the Strand, Never Let Me Go) and one non-fiction (The Great Halifax Explosion). Personally I don't think of the du Maurier as SF, nor the Ishiguro, but others may do. Oh, and one Fantasy with the upcoming The Graveyard Book.
However we categorise the books that have won, the big thing about themes is that we have choice each month, rather than being stuck in a genre which some people may like very much and others dislike.
