Ellie Catton's significant other happens to be my nephew. I've met her a few times, alas they live in NZ and don't get to the US much. Ellie's a very talented young woman and I'm anxious to get started on her new book as soon as I finish the one I'm currently reading. I introduced my nephew to Lightfoot and Dylan a long time ago and it's nice to see some of that found it's way to Ellie's computer. Although I have no doubt she would have discovered his music on her own one way or another. She's also a proud Diamondhead, so that makes her ok in my book, no pun intended. The Luminaries won the Booker award for a good reason and if you want a novel that challenges you, I recommend you pick up a copy. I read the first chapter in galley form and was hooked.
