I’m absolutely delighted to let you know that Our Endless Numbered Days has been longlisted in the Desmond Elliot Prize. This prestigious prize is awarded annually to a UK debut novel. My book is up against some stiff competition though, including Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey and The miniaturist by Jessie Burton. The shortlist is announced in May.
More information about the prize and the other longlisted novels can be found here.
