What an evening!

Thank you to the women championing each of the shortlisted titles and to everyone who attended. We're so delighted for the winner, 'The Correspondent' by Virginia Evans, and for all those shortlisted, what incredible achievements. The evening was a celebration of these talented female writers and of the many women writers whose work inspires, challenges and connects readers every day. 💚

What a tremendous evening we had of women celebrating woman. Smiles, laughter a little bit of sadness and now an even bigger reading pile next to my bed. Thankyou so much for attending and being part of such a special evening.
