BOOKER PRIZE 2024

---

The Booker Prize selections chosen by the 2024 judging panel feature blackly comic page-turners, multigenerational epics, meditations on the pain of exile – plus a crime caper, a spy thriller, an unflinching account of girls’ boxing and a reimagining of a 19th-century classic. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Charlotte Wood for her appearance on the longlist.
