They've announced that The Ten Thousand Things, by John Spurling, has won this year's Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction (for novels: "set at least 60 years ago", and, sigh, written in English); see, for example, the BBC report.
It beat out novels by Martin Amis, Kamila Shamsie, and Damon Galgut, among others -- some pretty solid competition.
