Tough call as I had voted for all three, but in the end I went with Proulx as I haven't read that.

So I think the rules mean that it's Remembering Babylon?
I shall be happy to reread it - I read it a bit after it missed out last time around. I do hope you all enjoy it. I thought it was wonderful, and from memory gave it five stars on Goodreads. |

The result is the same with or without bonus votes and we have another tie, so per the tie-breaker the winner is Remembering Babylon! I'll have the discussion thread up within a day.
