Congratulations to Anne Simpson, whose novel Speechless won the 2021 Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award! The award was presented on May 13, 2021, at an online Atlantic Book Awards ceremony. At $25,000, this award is the most generous for literature in the Atlantic region, intended to provide “the gift of time and peace of mind.”
Congratulations also to Anne’s fellow nominees, Bridget Canning for Some People’s Children and Morgan Murray for Dirty Birds (both published by Breakwater Books).
