2011 Wellcome Trust Book Prize winner

The third Wellcome Trust Book Prize has been awarded to Alice LaPlante for her debut novel "Turn of Mind", a tale of a family's secrets exposed by murder and a brilliant mind in terminal decline. It is the first work of fiction to win the Prize, triumphing ahead of Philip Roth's study of a polio epidemic in wartime Newark, "Nemesis", and Siddhartha Mukherjee's Pulitzer Prize-winning history of cancer, "The Emperor of All Maladies"
