By Paul Biba

images.jpegHow weird is that!! An Amazon search shows that there is no Kindle edition of the award winning book.

Here, however, is an excerpt from the news report:

The winner of this year’s Amazon First Novel Award is Winnipeg author Joan Thomas, who won for Reading by Lightning (Goose Lane Editions). A coming-of-age tale set in rural Manitoba around the time of the Second World War, the novel previously won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for best first book in the Canadian and Caribbean category.

  1. Interestingly, as of today the “I’d like to read this book on a Kindle” link is no longer present in the Amazon listings of books that are not available in Kindle editions.
