kruijsWinning option:Eleanor Catton: The Luminaries New Zealand author Eleanor Catton has, at the age of 28, become the youngest ever winner of the £50,000 Man Booker Prize for her novel The Luminaries.
Her 832-page tale of the 19th-century goldfields is also the longest work to win in the prize's 45-year history.
"It's a dazzling work. It's a luminous work. It is vast without being sprawling," said Robert Macfarlane, chair of the judges.
Catton was announced as the winner on Tuesday night at London's Guildhall.
