Our Projects Our Awards Scotland's National Book Awards 2015 Scotland's National Book Awards 2015 - Winners Scottish Book of the Year 2015 The Book of Strange New Things, Michael Faber When I emigrated from Australia to a remote part of Scotland in 1993, I never expected that it would be the beginning rather than the end of my literary career. I'm so moved and grateful that this honour has been bestowed on my work. You've made an alien feel very welcome! Michel Faber We are thrilled at Canongate that Michel Faber’s magnetic novel has won the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year Award 2015. This year’s shortlist was of a particularly high standard. “Described by David Mitchell as Faber’s ‘second masterpiece’ The Book of Strange New Things is a remarkable feat. Defying genre, it is a gripping tale of endeavour, faith and love which asks what could hold two people together even when they are worlds apart. “Our world at times looks like a cracked, imperfect place, its future uncertain. Like the finest literature, Michel Faber’s novel offers a kind of road map, and, with it, hope.” Jamie Byng - Canongate Scottish First Book of the Year 2015 On The Edges of Vision, Helen McCloryPublished by Queen's Ferry Press Scottish Poetry Book of the Year 2015 - In partnership with Scottish Poetry LibraryThe Good Dark, Ryan Van WinklePublished by Penned in the Margins Scottish History Book of the Year 2015 - Supported by Scottish Historical Review TrustA Chasm in Time, Patricia R.
