The Women's Prize for Fiction (previous incarnations the Baileys/Orange prize...) longlist has been published to coincide with International Women's Day:
We’re thrilled to reveal the sixteen brilliant books that make up the 2018 Women’s Prize for Fiction longlist on International Women’s Day!
Picked by our fantastic 2018 judging panel, the longlist honours both new and well-established writers and a range of genres, spanning four continents and including six debut novels.
Sarah Sands, 2018 chair of judges and Editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme said: “The longlist came out of a Chequers style meeting where different views were accommodated and peace reigned, at least for now,” commented Sarah Sands, Chair of Judges. “What is striking about the list, apart from the wealth of talent, is that women writers refuse to be pigeon-holed. We have searing social realism, adventure, comedy, poetic truths, ingenious plots and unforgettable characters. Women of the world are a literary force to be reckoned with.”
The longlisted books are as follows:
H(A)PPY by Nicola Barker
The Idiot by Elif Batuman
Three Things About Elsie by Joanna Cannon [Just read this and loved it - but don't see it as a prizewinner]
Miss Burma by Charmaine Craig
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan [on my wishlist]
The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar [on my TBR]
Sight by Jessie Greengrass
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman [very popular but again I'm not sure it's a prizewinner]
When I Hit You: Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife by Meena Kandasamy
Elmet by Fiona Mozley [on my TBR]
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy [on my TBR]
See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt [Again, I read this very recently and thought it beautifully written and well-researched]
A Boy in Winter by Rachel Seiffert [Just added this to my wishlist]
Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie
The Trick to Time by Kit de Waal [Just added this to my wishlist]
Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
