This whole shortlist was pretty good. I’d also read Fathoms and Stone Sky Gold Mountain, both excellent books.

Thrilled for Evie, and loved her speech(es) for the ceremony!

Hit “post” too quickly, whoops 😅 Meant to add: did you see that she’ll be in conversation with Bri Lee at the Sydney Writers Festival? I hope it will be streamed or added to the podcast feed quickly, what an amazing match they’ll make in conversation!

Agree, her speeches were both excellent. I didn’t know that, about the Sydney session. An interesting combo, having them together. I’d love to watch/listen.
