Kiwi Eleanor Catton wins Man Booker Prize

At 28, she becomes the youngest author to ever win the award.
Her novel, The Luminaries, set in 1866 gold-rush Hokitika, with its structure and narrative propelled by 12 men aligned
to 12 signs of the zodiac, the 832-page murder-mystery has divided reviewers, electrifying many, baffling others.

She is the second New Zealander to win the Booker, with Keri Hulme winning in 1985 for The Bone People.
(Another book, that was interrupted and was packed away in a box. *sigh*)
*tip of the hat to wgbh PBS Better late, than never.
