Station Eleven wins Clarke Award

[Nerds_feather]

Well deserved, in my opinion! The best novel I read in 2014.

Here's the shortlist:

The Girl With All The Gifts - M.R. Carey (Orbit)
The Book Of Strange New Things - Michel Faber (Canongate)
Europe In Autumn - Dave Hutchinson (Solaris)
Memory Of Water - Emmi Itäranta (HarperVoyager)
The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August - Claire North (Orbit)
Station Eleven - Emily St John Mandel (Picador)

[FYI I didn't put the Amazon links there--from the Clarke Award homepage.]

I found that
The Girl With All The Gifts - M.R. Carey (Orbit) was better than I thought it would be.

Spoiler

Different take on the post apocalyptic Zombie theme?

Not heard of any of the others. (Books or Authors)
