In conferring the $10,000 award, The North Street Book Prize said of The Evil Inclination:
“Daniel Victor's The Evil Inclination is a sensitive, tragic love story between a modern-day Romeo and Juliet who transgress religious boundaries. It's a brilliant novel that works on many levels—theological, personal, cultural—with high stakes and sharply observed humorous moments that make the characters achingly real.”
