2021 Booker short-list has been announced

by Jennifer Bryce

Recent posts have indicated that I’ve been reading books that were long-listed for the 2021 Booker prize. Last night the short-list was announced and two of my favourite books so far, Light Perpetual and A Town Called Solace, are not on it. The only short-listed book that I’ve read so far is recently reviewed, no one is talking about this. The other five short-listed books are: A Passage North (which I’ve just started), The Promise, The Fortune Men, Bewilderment and Great Circle. Watch this space!

  Thanks Helen. I was disappointed that Francis Spufford’s ‘Light Perpetual’ didn’t make the shortlist.
