All the People were Mean and Bad: Lucy Caldwell
The eventual winner of the award is a tale about a solo mother travelling back to London from Toronto after a cousin's funeral, accompanied by her toddler. The fraught journey is, however, ameliorated by her compassionate neighbour's behaviour, and the preschool storybook of Noah's Ark, from which the title is drawn. It's a story of emotional depth and nuance, 4.5*
