Blue Desert Finalist in 2021 Sarton Book Awards

Congratulations to Celia Jeffries, whose novel Blue Desert has been shortlisted for Story Circle’s 2021 women’s book awards program: the Sarton and the Gilda.

The Sarton Awards are presented in four categories: memoir, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, nonfiction. The award program is named in honor of May Sarton, who is remembered for her outstanding contributions to women's literature as a memoirist, novelist, and poet. Sarton memoirs, novels, and nonfiction books are distinguished by the compelling ways they honor the lives of women and are limited to books published by independent authors and publishers.

Blue Desert is a Finalist in Historical Fiction. Winners will be announced in mid-April 2022, so stay tuned!
