Marly Youmans Nominated for National Book Award and Pulitzer
 
Mercer U. Press has nominated Marly Youmans' novel, A Death at the White Camellia Orphanage, for a National Book Award and a Pulitzer.

That is marvelous. Let's hope she wins. Gotta read that book.

Thanks, Lance, for posting. And prayers for Marly! I read the excerpt--the link posted on the Sphere earlier--and thought it lovely. It's on my list of books read...

Thanks--
 
Thanks, Lance and Janice and Charlotte and Lady Word-of-Mouth! So glad Eratospherians have mentioned the book on a couple of threads now--as we all know, such mentions are so important.

And I'm grateful to Mercer for the nominations--they both take some time and expense, and I'm glad they are choosing to spend their resources that way.

I just posted a copy of an assessment of the book by poet Jeffery Beam: http://thepalaceat2.blogspot.com/201...-camellia.html. And now there is a good bit on the book page there as well and on the new facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ADeathAtThe...elliaOrphanage.

It's a stunning book that absolutely deserves to win. Anyone who hasn't yet bought a copy should do so right away. Seriously.

Wow, wow, wow! Fantastic!

Sweet. Just bought the novel. The reviews currently up on amazon are outstanding.

Thanks for supporting the book, all! It means a lot to me.
