Oh Happy Day!!!
The Song of Achilles wins the Orange Prize!!!
Madeline Miller, the author, after winning the Orange Prize on Wednesday
I am so incredibly happy for her, and for the book. It's one of my all-time favourite books - and definitely the only great, extremely well-written classic yaoi (or rather i should say shounen-ai) book i have ever read. I'm so glad that this book will now get the kind of attention it deserves.
I had fangirled over this book earlier, in this post - The Best Yaoi I have Ever Read.
Buy it, people, buuuuyyy it! And Cris, I'm surely gonna send you a copy now. :)
PS - I like the Orange Prize. the winning books are usually not incredibly boring and/or incomprehensible, as award winning books are sometimes prone to be, LOL. I remember how Zadie Smith's 'On Beauty' was also a winner, and that was a damn good book too.
