Kiwi Eleanor Catton won the Man Booker Prize for 2013 becoming the youngest author to win, she is 28 years old. Her novel The Luminaries is also the longest book to win the award. This is a great honor for any author and it's awesome to see a fellow New Zealander doing well in the world.
'The Luminaries' is a mystery set in the West Coast of New Zealand during the Gold Rush of the 19th Century.
