| Grace McCleen, Patrick McGuiness, Rachel Joyce |
A poet, a radio playwright and a writer who grew up in a Christian sect have made it on to the shortlist for this year's Desmond Elliott Prize.
The Land of Decoration by Grace McCleen joins Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Patrick McGuinness' The Last Hundred Days.
The prize for new fiction was set up in memory of the celebrated literary agent to enrich the careers of new writers.
Bookmakers have given Rachel Joyce a narrow lead to take the £10,000 prize.
