Further accolades for Between a Wolf and a Dog

Georgia Blain's novel Between a Wolf and a Dog has been shortlisted for the 2017 Australian Literary Society Gold Medal award in her native Australia. The award is given by the Association for the Study of Australian Literature for 'an outstanding literary work in the preceding calendar year,' and past winners have included Richard Flanagan and Christos Tsiolkas.

This is just the latest in a string of nominations and accolades the book has received in the past year. Since publication last year, it has won the 2016 University of Queensland Fiction Book Award and the 2017 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Fiction, and been shortlisted for 2017 Stella Prize. It has also been longlisted for the 2017 Indie Book Awards and the Literary Fiction Book of the Year at the 2017 Australian Book Industry Awards.

Taking place largely over one rainy day in Sydney, Between a Wolf and a Dog concerns Ester, a family therapist whose relationships with her own family are tense and frayed. Georgia Blain passed away in December 2016 — it was the last novel that she saw published in her celebrated career. Scribe UK will publish her final book The Museum of Words later this year.
