Miles Franklin award winner 2008

This year's Miles Franklin Award has gone to Steven Carroll for his novel The time we have taken. Set in suburban Melbourne of the 1970's the novel is described by the judges as a 'moving and indelible in its evocation of the extraordinary in ordinary lives'.

Carroll said of the award:

"It's instantly recognisable so hopefully these things help you and kick in
and help you in your writing career and make sure it doesn't go bum."

Manly Library has several copies of the book. To check availability and place your hold please visit our online catalogue.
