Origin of Species nominated for Commonwealth Writers' Prize
Very happy to hear this today, and so well deserved: Nino Ricci's fantastic novel, Origin of Species has been nominated for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize.
I reviewed it for the Ottawa Citizen, though it is unfortunately not online. But here's a blurb the publisher picked that I'm presuming will be on the paperback jacket when it's released:
“An entertaining and emotionally rewarding read, this book will transport Nino Ricci to further heights of literary stardom and could well overtake his first, Lives of the Saints, as his signature work — much as the original Origin of Species did to the career and life of Charles Darwin.”
