Joan London's THE GOOD PARENTS wins The Christina Stead Prize for Fiction.

On winning The Christina Stead Prize for Fiction at last night's NSW Premier's Literary Awards Dinner - London, 60, from Fremantle, said she had wanted to write about parenthood for a long time. 'As a parent you are constantly thinking about this process, whether you are doing the right thing,' she said. 

THE GOOD PARENTS, Joan London’s most recent novel, was published in April 2008 to wide acclaim. It has since reprinted many times and was also shortlisted for the Age Fiction Book of the Year.
