Exciting news! The guys over at Upcoming4me have just announced the first selection of titles to be included in their new annual ‘Book Box’ prize, a personal Year’s Best chosen from the books they’ve been reviewing over the past twelve months. It’s a fascinating list, and I’m delighted to see The Race in amongst it.  The winner will be announced this Friday.

Upcoming4me’s review of The Race is here, and the Story Behind The Race, a short piece I wrote detailing some of the inspirations behind the novel, is here.
