A former female managing director at Morgan Stanley could be in line for a well-earned bonus after being long-listed for the Orange Prize for Fiction, the women’s literary award.

Irish author Aifric Campbell is one of 20 writers in the frame for the prestigious £30,000 prize for her novel On the Floor, set in the financial markets of London and Hong Kong, which tells the story of a 28-year-old who finds herself "entangled in a hostile takeover involving her boss, her client and her ex."
