Congratulations to Scribe author Gavin McCrea, whose debut novel Mrs Engels has been longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. Mrs Engels tells the story of Lizzie Burns, the poor Irishwoman who married Frederick Engels, the co-author of The Communist Manifesto. It has been called 'an assured, beautifully-written debut' (The Spectator), 'triumphant ... dazzlingly convincing' (The Times), and 'a fine symphony' (The Guardian). See the full longlist here.
