Women's Prize for fiction 2019 predictions

[Cherrypi]

The Prize is open to any full length novel, written in English by a woman of any nationality, provided that the novel is published for the first time in print form the United Kingdom between 1 April of the year before the Prize is awarded and 31 March of the year in which the Prize is awarded. Although the novel’s first UK publication must fall within these dates, it’s still eligible if it was previously published in English elsewhere.

What do you think will make Monday's long list?

I think
Normal People by Sally Rooney
Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss if it's long enough
Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller
The stranger diaries by Elly Griffiths.

Atkinson got fed up of the press attitudes obsession with her being a single mother I think @southeast. They weren’t kind about her

Ah that’s interesting southeast. The press have always been rather patronising to Atkinson since the start. I remember something sneering about her being “postmodern without knowing it” or something, when she had studied postmodernism at PhD level.

That was Conversations With Friends, her first book. I liked Normal People much better.

Thanks! I realised my mistake when I got home!
