The Man Booker Prize
The Man Booker Prize for Fiction (formerly known as the Booker-McConnell Prize and commonly known simply as the Booker Prize) is a literary prize awarded each year for the best original novel, written in the English language, and published in the UK. From its inception, only Commonwealth, Irish, and Zimbabwean citizens were eligible to receive the prize; in 2013, however, this eligibility was widened to any English language novel. Below you will only find the list of books written by women shortlisted for the prize (full list: here). Shorlisted books are in italics, and the winner for each year is highlighted. Read books are marked as (✓). Reviews, when available, are linked below. I have crossed off a few books which do not interest me (DNF).
