- Josephine Rowe - Here Until August
- Favell Parrett - There Was Still Love
- Tara June Winch - The Yield
- Charlotte Wood - The Weekend
- Caro Llewellyn - Diving Into Glass
- Jess Hill - See What You Made Me Do
I have read the books by Rowe and Wood. Both brilliant, I would be delighted if either won. I reckon the other contender would be Jess Hill for her look at domestic and family violence, ever topical.
For more information, see my post on the longlist.
The winner will be revealed on 8 April 2020. Happy reading!
