I’m still a bit overwhelmed this morning after the announcement last night that The Girl with Glass Feet won The Desmond Elliott Prize for 2010. It’s a massive honour and I’m really grateful to the judges, everyone involved with the Prize, and of course Desmond Elliott himself.
This is what the judges said: “After some soul searching and much debate, we decided on The Girl with Glass Feet as our winner. This is an extraordinary first novel – bold, original, tragic and endlessly surprising. In its exploration of frozen landscapes, both interior and exterior, and in its precisely detailed and articulated fantasy, it is possible to see a substantial author of the future.”
