Just a quick update to let you know that THE WORD has won Book of the Year at the international Rubery Book Award!
The judges described it as “an exciting, well-written and thought-provoking read” that “never preaches, but offers finely tuned social commentary” and “explores themes of national identity, inequality and fear with sensitivity”.
You can see all the category winners and read writeups of the shorlisted books on the awards website here.
And, if you haven’t read it, you can pick up THE WORD at Amazon, Waterstones, or even better, your local indie bookshop.
