FROM THE LATEST DUTTON'S BRENTWOOD NEWS

Seeing orange………….. the Orange Prize, that is. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has just been awarded the 2007 Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction (formerly simply the Orange Prize for Fiction) for her novel Half a Yellow Sun. The award is given to the best novel written in English by a woman author. Also up for the honor was Kiran Desai for her novel The Inheritance of Loss. Had Desai triumphed, she would have become the first author to win both the Man Booker and the Orange Prize for the same work. In closely related news, Karen Connelly won the Orange Broadband Award for New Writers for her novel The Lizard Cage.
