She defeated five other finalists to bag the award. It combines tales of modern day travel with the story of a 17 the century anatomist who dissected his own amputated leg.
Olga is one of Poland’s best known authors. The prize carries an award of 50,000 pounds that is to be split evenly between the writer and her translator Jennifer Croft.
