AN EVENING AT THE HUKA LODGE WITH ELEANOR CATTON Saturday, 04 October 2014 Eleanor Catton is the youngest author yet to become the recipient of one of the world’s most prestigious literary awards the Man Booker prize, with her second novel The Luminaries. Set in the wild west coast of the South Island of New Zealand during the gold mining days of 1866, The Luminaries delivers 832 pages of extraordinary storytelling. Come and join us at Huka Lodge to hear Eleanor Catton talk – about her work as an internationally acclaimed novelist, all the excitement surrounding the announcement of a television mini-series of The Luminaries and her plans for the future. Take the opportunity to engage with this truly wonderful novelist in a small and very private celebration of her recent success. Join Eleanor Catton for a delicious five-course dinner. This will feature a special menu by Executive Chef Paul Froggatt, showcasing the finest of seasonal produce in the intimate ambience so unique to Huka Lodge. If you do not already own a copy of The Luminaries you can take the opportunity to purchase one during your stay and have it signed for you by Eleanor – as a memento of a truly special occasion.
