New Zealand author Eleanor Catton has become the youngest person to win the Man Booker Prize for her book 'The Luminaries'.
The 28-year-old author, who was presented with literature's most sought-after prize by The Duchess of Cornwall, gave a special thanks to her UK publishers Granta and New Zealand publishers Victoria University Press in her speech, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Catton said that the shape and the form of the book made certain kinds of editorial suggestions both mathematically and astrologically impossible.
She has found a place among literary greats such as Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood and Kingsley Amis with her win.
The Booker came with a 50,000-pound prize money.
