This year’s Costa Book of the Year has been awarded to Sebastian Barry for his novel The Secret Scripture.
He has scooped the £25,000 prize money after missing out on the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in October last year.
Chair of the final judges, Matthew Parris, said: "Sebastian Barry has created one of the great narrative voices in contemporary fiction in The Secret Scripture. It is a book of great brilliance, powerfully and beautifully written."
