'''Longlisted for the [[Orange Prize for Fiction 2012]]'''
 
Geri Molloy, the central character in Aifric Campbell's ''On The Floor'', may be earning a six figure salary working at a London investment bank just prior to the outbreak of the 1991 invasion of Kuwait, but she's seriously messed up. Drinking heavily, sleeping lightly and mourning the end of a relationship, she may be a mathematical genius with a direct line to a mysterious Hong Kong-based hedge fund manager with whom she trades, but her life is increasingly being controlled by other people.
