Eleanor Catton
The Luminairies
Granta
Eleanor Catton, at 28, was the youngest winner and only the second from New Zealand, where she was brought up, although born in Canada. At 832 pages, The Luminaries is the longest work to win the prize. The chair of the judges, Robert Macfarlane commented, ‘It’s a dazzling work. It’s a luminous work. It is vast without being sprawling.’
