British author Susanna Clarke has won the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction for her second novel Piranesi.
The fantasy work is the long-awaited follow-up to her acclaimed 2004 debut Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
Piranesi, a mystery about a man living alone in a labyrinthine house, beat five other books to the £30,000 prize.
Novelist Bernardine Evaristo, the chair of the judging panel, said she and her fellow judges "wanted to find a book that we'd press into readers' hands".
