A first-time entrant has won the 2008 Frank Collymore Literary Endowment Competition (Barbados). Karen Lord received the award and a B’dos $10 000 prize for her novel Redemption In Indigo. In the book, Lorde weaves fantasy into an implied history of the world to reflect on the use of power and human choice.
