The Luminaries: A Novel (Man Booker Prize),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The bestselling, Man Booker Prizewinning novel hailed as 'a true achievement. Catton has built a lively parody of a 19thcentury novel, and in so doing created a novel for the 21st, something utterly new. The pages fly.'New York Times Book ReviewIt is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky.Richly evoking a midnineteenthcentury world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping pageturner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.
