It was my third novel I’d had very modest success with the other two, so to suddenly get on a shortlist like that was amazing. Well, the first time felt really something. What impact do you think being shortlisted for the prize each time had on your status as a writer? The Night Watch probably has a slightly bigger canvas, so I’d go for that I guess. I would say either The Night Watch or Fingersmith because they were both, for me, quite ambitious but in very different ways. You’ve been shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times in seven years for Fingersmith, The Night Watch and The Little Stranger – if you could pick just one of those three to win the prize, which would it be? ![]()
