The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

In the goldfields of 1860s New Zealand, a newly arrived prospector stumbles into a secret meeting of twelve local men, each connected in some way to a recent death, a disappearance and a substantial fortune in gold, and each holding a piece of a mystery none of them fully understands.

Catton constructs the novel around an astrological structure, with each character assigned a corresponding zodiac sign and planetary influence shaping the narrative's elaborate architecture, resulting in a genuinely ambitious formal achievement alongside its considerable mystery plotting.

Winner of the Booker Prize, the youngest author ever to receive it, for this formally ambitious mystery.
