Plus, take our personality quiz to find out which Booker Prize-winning novel you should read next; and we revisit the prize's first double win, fifty years on
“... the 1974 Booker Prize. Fifty years ago... splitting the award was, unlike now, completely permissible.” In 1992, when the Booker was shared a second time, the Booker Prize committee changed the rules so that only one book could win in the future. But hey, there were joint winners again in 2019. Why have rules if you don’t stick to them?
Girl,Woman,Orher by Bernadine Everesto was the book chosen for me by the quiz. I put it on my library holds. ☺️
Brilliant, thanks Beatrice! We hope you love it.
Most wonderful read 💎💕📚💕💎
Just when I thought I was seeing "comprises" used correctly, I noticed it was misspelled as "compromises."
Thank you for spotting! We have updated.
