Orange Prize

I was happy to see Rose Tremain won the Orange Prize for her novel, The Road Home. Though I haven't read it (yet) I've long been a fan of Tremain's and have often thought she doesn't get as much attention as her work deserves. I loved Music and Silence (which won the Whitbread) and Restoration (which was shortlisted for the Booker). So, congratulations to Rose Tremain! If you haven't discovered her yet, look her up the next time you're wandering the aisles of your favourite bookstore.

I really enjoyed The Colour, so I was pleased to see her win as well.

I've got The Colour lurking around here in one of my piles but haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe I should bump it up the pile a bit!
