Maryse Conde, one of the Caribbean's most renowned authors, has won an award created to replace this year's Nobel Prize for Literature.
The prestigious literature prize was suspended this year after a scandal at the Swedish Academy, which awards it. The Guadeloupian author, 81, said she was "very happy and proud" to win the alternative version.
She was selected from 47 authors who were nominated by Swedish librarians and voted on by nearly 33,000 people from around the world.
Conde has written more than 20 novels, including Desirada, Segu.
