WATERSTONE’S DEBUT FICTION PRIZE…
The Waterstone's Debut Fiction prize, is a brand new Fiction prize for Waterstone's, with the participants and winner voted for by our very own Booksellers.
The winner has been announced as 'The Rabbit Hutch' by Tess Gunty. This was such a popular book with Waterstone's Booksellers. It’s an incredibly funny, razor-sharp debut about a motley assortment of residents in a crumbling apartment block. Three days of swelteringly hot weather columinate in a shocking act of violence...
We have lots of copies of a gorgeous Waterstone's Exclusive Edition available in store, feel free to reserve it online, over the phone or simply purchase in store.
