How wonderful that Eleanor Catton has won the Man Booker Prize2013 and with such a big book that reads like a puzzle unraveling itself. Every word, every action is significant and every character has many layers. A wonderful novel from a wonderful writer. Eleanor's speech at the awards was well written and well-delivered showing her amazing talent. She has now won two other awards and is on a world tour - we might have to wait some time for her next book.
