The shortlist for the Indie Awards 2012 has now been released. The category award winners, as well as the Indie Book Of The Year 2012, will be announced at a Gala Dinner on March 10th, 2012 at the Sebel Albert Park, Melbourne.
‘It's always nice to be nominated for an award but doubly so when it comes from a body who's business is also it’s love - books and reading. Independent booksellers help spread the joy and richness of the written word and in the National Year of Reading 2012 they play an incredibly important role.’ – William McInnes

Andrew Miller’s novel Pure has won the 2011 Costa Book of the Year Award. The other shortlisted works were debut novel Tiny Sunbirds Far Away by Christie Watson, The Bees by British poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and children’s book Blood Red Road by Moira Young.
Pure
is set in 18th century Paris and revolves around the city’s oldest cemetery. It is described as “a rich and brilliant historical novel, a morality tale which engrosses with its vivid invocation of pre-revolutionary France.”
Miller had also beaten Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes’s The Sense of an Ending to claim the best novel section, itself worth £5,000.
