NZ author wins Sundial Scottish Arts Council Book Awards

Congratulations to Kirsty Gunn who is the inaugural winner of the Sundial Scottish Arts Council Book of the Year award. She was awarded the prize at the Edinburgh International Book Festival for her novella "The Boy And The Sea".

Ms Gunn is the author of "Rain" which was set on the Mahurangi Peninsula. The library doesn't have the DVD but we do have the soundtrack.
