Claire Fuller won the £10,000 (about $15,610) Desmond Elliott Prize for debut novelists for Our Endless Numbered Days (Tin House Books). Chairman of the prize trustees Dallas Manderson said, "A key mission of this prize has always been to protect the future of fiction, and I am proud to see that the judges have done just that by selecting the very impressive Our Endless Numbered Days as this year's winner. I know Desmond would have been pleased to champion such an entirely original writer and we look forward to seeing many more novels to come from Claire Fuller."
