I read the Bonesetter's Daughter a while ago and don't remember it being that long! Must have really enjoyed it that I didn't notice the length!

I have to admit I was surprised myself when i checked it.

May's chunky challenge was Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs. At 497 pages it was (IMO) close enough to pass for a chunky one!
