Eleanor Catton's Man Booker Prize-winning novel "The Luminaries" is to be adapted into TV drama series.
Catton, who became the youngest winner of the coveted literary prize in 2013, has written the adaptation of her mystery, set during the New Zealand gold rush, reported BBC.
"Learning to write for television has been a bit like learning a new musical instrument: The melody is more or less the same, but absolutely everything else is different," she said.
"I'm having enormous fun, learning every day, and just so excited to see the world of the novel created in the flesh."
Filming on the six hour-long episodes will begin in early 2017.
