Linda Gillard's Star Gazing (Piatkus) has been voted the most romantic novel of the last 50 years in a poll by the Romantic Novelists Association. The author beat the two other shortlisted novels, Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance (HarperCollins) and Trisha Ashley's Every Woman for
Herself (Avon), in a poll organised by Woman's Weekly.
The awards were presented at a champagne breakfast this morning (16th September) at London's New Cavendish Club by author and chair of the RNA Katie Fforde.
Gillard said: "I am particularly thrilled to finally win a prize, especially one associated with the RNA as I first joined the association as a member of the New Writers Scheme. Having come up through the ranks of the RNA, this is the icing on the cake."
