A story by U.K. author, Eimear McBride, A Girl Is A Half Formed Thing, a week ago Wednesday emerged the winner of the prestigious Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction beating Chimamanda Adichie's Americanah.
Ms. McBride's first novel also topped American Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, Donna Tartt's Goldfinch to win the $30,000 (N4.8 million) prize.
Based on U.K. Daily Mail, Ms. McBride wrote the novel within 6 months in 2004.
However, over the years, it was rejected by nearly every publisher she took it to as “too experimental.”
