As you may know, this year`s Commonwealth Short Story Prize was won by New Zealand`s Emma Martin for her story Two Girls in a Boat.
The way the Commonwealth Writer`s Prizes* work, is that there are a five regional winners (the regions in question are Africa, Asia, Canada/Europe, The Caribbean and The Pacific) . Of these, one is then selected to be the overall winner.
One imagines Ms Martin must be deeply chuffed to be this year`s overall winner, which is no small achievement.
Those nice people at Granta have put all five of the regional winners online, and they can be viewed here ;
