It’s always nice to be confirmed in your judgements by a committe of experts, so for that reason and more I was delighted to see that Marilynne Robinson’s Home, my own Book of the Year winner for 2008, has just won the Orange Prize for fiction. It’s a wonderful book I say again, and some describe her as the greatest living novelist.

Haven’t read it yet, but looking forward to reading it.

dear Warwick, hi there! Havent known Marilynne Robinson’s work before receiving ref. to her from Terry Gillmore… I’ll obviously investigate now! I had though becasue of the context of Terry’s letter that she was a poet… Best wishes, Kris Hemensley

Thanks for dropping by Kris; I think you’ll enjoy Robinson’s writing; certainly poetic prose, where every line seems to matter. Best wishes to you too. Warrick
