Madeleine Thien has won the 2016 Scotiabank Giller Prize for Do Not Say We Have Nothing, a novel set in China before, during, and after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

The Giller Prize is considered Canada's most prestigious literary award, and comes with a $100,000 cash prize.

This comes after Thien's win of the Governor General's Literary Award for fiction earlier this autumn, as well as a finalist nomination for the Man Booker Prize.

A highly regarded book, indeed! Congratulations to Ms. Thien for all of the honours.
