Whilst everyone might be talking about the World Cup, we've had our eyes on a very different competition. On Thursday evening, despite a little wind and rain, spirits were anything but damp at London’s Bedford Square Gardens, as the literary world gathered to mark a milestone moment: the 30th anniversary of the Women’s Prize for Fiction.
The atmosphere was buoyant throughout the night, with guests celebrating three decades of championing women’s voices in literature. But amid the celebrations, it was Virginia Evans who took centre stage, crowned this year’s Fiction Prize winner for her novel The Correspondent.
