Orange Women’s Fiction Nominees
I love listing awards that focus on women cause we always get exposed to so many women we otherwise would probably never hear of. Here’s this year’s longlist for the Orange Women’s Fiction Prize. Clearly you can tell from the list there are some women you’ve heard of, but most are new names, at least to me. Toni Morrison- A Mercy Deirdre Madden - Molly Fox’s Birthday Marilynne Robinson- Home Kamila Shamsie- Burnt Shadows Gaynor Arnold- Girl in a Blue Dress Debra Adelaide- The Household Guide to Dying Lissa Evans- Their Finest Hour and a Half Bernadine Evaristo- Blonde Roots Ellen Feldman- Scottsboro Laura Fish- Strange Music VV Ganeshananthan- Love Marriage Allegra Goodman- Intuition Samantha Harvey- The Wilderness Samantha Hunt- The Invention of Everything Else Michelle de Kretser- The Lost Dog Gina Ochsner- The Russian Dreambook of Colour and Flight Preeta Samarasan- Evening is the Whole Day Curtis Sittenfeld- American Wife Miriam Toews- The Flying Troutmans Ann Weisgarber- The Personal History of Rachel DuPree I’ve got a lot of reading to do. The shortlist of six will be named in April and the winner will be announced in June. American Authors Dominate Orange Fiction Longlist (The Guardian)
