A York bookshop worker has been long-listed for the £50,000 Man Booker Prize with her debut novel, Elmet, that is due to be published in two-weeks time.

Fiona Mozley, 29, who works in The Little Apple Bookshop in High Petergate, is the youngest and one of three debut authors on the 13-strong longlist of one of the world's most prestigious literary prizes.

Elmet tells the story of a father and his two children who come into conflict with land owners after they build a home for themselves in a copse in South Yorkshire.

The former Fulford School pupil is on a list naming literary giants, such as Arundhati Roy, whose first novel in 20 years, The Ministry Of Utmost Happiness, could earn her a second Man Booker Prize.

Scottish writer Ali Smith and Irish author Sebastian Barry earn their fourth nod on the list while Jon McGregor is up for the award for a third time.

The other two debuts are History Of Wolves by Emily Fridlund, 38 and George Saunders' first full-length novel, Lincoln In The Bardo.

Also listed is British writer Zadie Smith who was previously shortlisted for the 2005 prize for On Beauty. Her fifth novel, Swing Time, moves from north-west London to West Africa and follows two girls who dream of being dancers before their close but complicated childhood friendship ends abruptly in their early 20s.

Chairwoman of the 2017 judges, Baroness Lola Young lauded the "diverse spectrum" shown in the longlist and called the power and range on show a "tonic for our times".

She said: "Only when we'd finally selected our 13 novels did we fully realise the huge energy, imagination and variety in them as a group.

The longlist - narrowed down from 144 entries - will be narrowed again to a final six on Wednesday September 13 before a winner is announced at a ceremony in central London on October 17.

Last year's Booker saw its first American winner as Paul Beatty's The Sellout was handed the £50,000 prize.
