Wiradjuri author accepts Australia’s top literary prize from her home in France, describing the novel as ‘a handbook for truth’

It’s “bittersweet” to win the Miles Franklin award, says Tara June Winch. “I would have liked to see Tony win.”

Winch’s 2019 novel The Yield was announced the winner of the Miles Franklin on Thursday afternoon via a livestreamed YouTube ceremony, as befits the era of the coronavirus pandemic – and to accommodate the fact that the Wiradjuri writer is currently living in France.
