with The Luminaries. Anybody read it? I'll be going out to buy it along with all the other sheep :)
I know we all need to get over her age but I still can't get over it! It's just mind-boggling to have achieved what she has. Unlike other art forms where early-peaking creatives are common (music, ballet, mathematics...), many writers seem to need that bit of extra life experience and do better work as they get older. So this win makes Catton all the more unusual.
Anyway, looking forward to reading it.
