Judges praised Leslie’s story of three women travelling to a sinister place as making “vulnerable, rooted characters come of age in a hazy, hypnotic book that reflects contemporary Britain through a distorted lens”.
Leslie is also a psychedelic pop singer-songwriter who produces music under the name Berlin Horse.
