Two brilliant books, two major prizes

I was hoping this would happen! Two Western Australian writers shortlisted for the prestigious ARA Historical Novel Prize were announced last night as the winners. Huge congratulations to Bernice Barry, in the Adult category, for The Names of a Hare) and Meg Caddy, in the Children’s/YA category, for A Flash in the Dust.

The Readers’ Choice award was won by Wayne Marshall for Henry Goes Bush
