Mister
Pip
by
Jones, Lloyd
In a novel that is at once intense,
beautiful, and fablelike, Lloyd Jones weaves a transcendent story
that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power
of narrative to transform our lives.
On a copper-rich tropical island shattered by war, where the teachers
have fled with most everyone else, only one white man chooses
to stay behind: the eccentric Mr. Watts, object of much curiosity
and scorn, who sweeps out the ruined schoolhouse and begins to
read to the children each day from Charles Dickens’s classic
Great Expectations.

About
the Prize
The Commonwealth
Writers’ Prize, organised and funded by the Commonwealth Foundation,
is a leading award for fiction that was first awarded in 1987. The
Commonwealth Foundation is an intergovernmental organisation working
in the 53 countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. The aim of the
Prize is to encourage new Commonwealth fiction, and to ensure that
works of merit reach a wider audience outside their country of origin.
The Commonwealth
Writers’ Prize is sponsored and administered by the Commonwealth
Foundation with the support of the Macquarie Foundation in the Europe
and South Asia and South East Asia and South Pacific regions. The
Commonwealth Foundation is an intergovernmental body working to help
civil society organisations promote democracy, development and cultural
understanding in Commonwealth countries.
The Commonwealth
Writers' Prize is established as a noted annual event in both the
media and literary calendar. Since 2006, the regional sections of
the Prize have been open for sponsorship and the Canada/ Caribbean
and Africa regions are still seeking partners. It is established as
a noted annual event in both the media and literary calendar. Last
year, the CWP achieved a high level of exposure in both regional and
international media. Over the past years media coverage has increased
year-on-year and it is expected to continue to do so.
The Commonwealth
Writers’ Prize is chaired by Justice Nicholas Hasluck, distinguished
Australian author and leading judicial officer. Justice Hasluck has
published ten works of fiction, including the award-winning The Bellarmine
Jug and The Country Without Music.
