Thomas Keneally
Schindler's Ark
Hodder & Stoughton
The controversy this year revolved around whether or not Thomas Keneally’s Schindler’s Ark was fiction or non-fiction. It became the bestselling Booker Prize winner ever, selling over two million copies. Steven Spielberg turned it into a moving film under the book’s American title, Schindler’s List, which won seven Academy Awards.
