Congratulations to Anna Mackmin on being shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2019! Alan Hollinghurst, Chair of Judges, described DEVOURED as an "exuberant and technically inventive debut... [Mackmin] shows us the variously pompous, randy and self-deluded adults in a 1970s Norfolk commune through the eyes of drolly observant child on the cusp of puberty. DEVOURED is absorbing, unnerving and extremely funny.”
