Thank you Desmond Elliott Prize (inactive account) for a wonderful evening at Fortnum & Mason this evening. Alan Hollinghurst’s speech was inspirational and I hope it will be published somewhere.

Thank you for all the congrats, it's all very exciting! I have a block on my SM so I only get 5m every few hours... that's why I'm a bit slow to respond to everyone! But THANK YOU to Desmond Elliott Prize (inactive account) for a wonderful evening and congrats to all the authors on short/longlistings xx
