- Share via
“Angels Fall” by Nora Roberts was named the Quill Book of the Year during a celebrity-laden awards show held at Lincoln Center in New York.
Roberts’ romance novel was chosen in online voting by the public among 19 winners in individual categories announced in September. Those selections were made by booksellers and librarians.
The award for debut novel of the year went to Diane Setterfield’s “The Thirteenth Tale.”
The awards, sponsored by Reed Business Information (which owns Publishers Weekly, Variety and other publications) and NBC Universal Television Stations, were handed out Monday night in categories that included biography/memoir, graphic novels, poetry and science fiction.
The Platinum Quill, honoring an author whose life and work have had a special influence on the culture, went to the late David Halberstam.
