Catherine O'Flynn's 'tender and hearbreaking' gem of a novel has been longlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction, announced on 19th March 2007. Tindal Street Press are delighted - this is an 'Orange' first for them. They say 'This is such a well-deserved accolade for an author whose unsettling yet very funny debut enthralled us from the start. The critical praise for What Was Lost has been so engaged and so positive that we're hopeful this new title might follow in the footsteps of Clare Morrall's Astonishing Splashes of Colour (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2003). As with that earlier success, we're thrilled that booksellers, reviewers and readers are helping to ensure a popular word-of-mouth buzz around this author who writes so beautifully about our modern lives of love, loss and shopping.' |
