The Booker Prize Winner of 2013

Hello Gentle Reader

The winner of this, years Booker Prize, is the New Zealand author Eleanor Catton. She is the youngest author to win this prize, at the age of twenty-eight; and her winning novel “The Luminaries,” is the longest book to be awarded. Her Victorian murder mystery, set around the astrological calendar, in the era of the New Zealand gold rush, had left a deep enough impression on the judges to be awarded over veteran authors. This, years Booker Prize, has been acknowledged as one of the most diverse in recent memory, and praised for it.

Congratulations are in order to Eleanor Catton, for making Booker Prize history with one book.
