Yes indeed... but I was lucky enough to be able to congratulate Jill
in person. Just back from Sydney where I was being a Wife to another
winner (Daniel won the Play prize). One of the side benefits of that
was that I knew way before the other short listees that I hadn't won,
so didn't have so long to bite my nails. But I had no idea who _had_
won, and was so pleased when they announced it was Jill: richly
deserved, and what a triumph for Salt! Not only was Salt responsible
for three of the six shortlisted titles, but JK also published Sarah
Day, another short listee, for Arc.
It was a fun night, but I feel a bit seedy today...
Best
A
