Cree author and lawyer Michelle Good has won the Amazon Canada First Novel Award.
Good was awarded the $60,000 prize at a virtual ceremony Thursday for Five Little Indians.
The title, from HarperCollins Publishers, follows a group of residential school survivors trying to forge new lives in Vancouver.
The Youth Author Award went to 17-year-old Rama Altaleb for her short story Lost Childhood. Authors between the ages of 13 and 17 were invited to submit a short story under 3,000 words. Altaleb will receive $5,000 and a mentorship lunch with editors of The Walrus.
Altaleb is a 17-year-old Syrian immigrant living in Nanaimo, B.C. After arriving in Canada in 2018 from the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, Rama began to reflect on her own lost childhood. It sparked her interest in reading and writing about children in crises. Winning this award has proven to me that I am on the right track and has assured me that I ll achieve my dream of writing my memoir in the future, said Altaleb in a statement.
