Saltwater: a working-class heroine, written by a young working-class author. Review of Jessica Andrews’s Portico Prize winning debut novel ourdailyread.com/2019/06/sal… #PorticoPrize
Jessica Andrews is truly deserving of £10,000 and this beautiful prize sculpture for her novel, Saltwater. I asked where she will keep it, she said her bedroom was only small, but it will take pride of place. #PorticoPrize
Jessica praised the camaraderie of the North making her feel so welcome. After the emotional readings, Portico Prize judge, Holliday Grainger was crying. Saltwater explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, the challenges of shifting class identity #PorticoPrize
At the Portico Prize, speaking with winner Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater, she wished her teenage self could have been there; because her teenage self did not believe she could ever achieve anything. Jessica is truly deserving of this beautiful prize sculpture #PorticoPrize
