The Longlist for the 2025 Women's Prize for Fiction will be announced in a few days - on 4 March 2025.
I really love this award. It fuels my reading soul, introducing me to new authors and ideas. I have been mulling over what might make the list this year, and stock piling novels in anticipation. While I have no insider information and have not even pondered eligibility requirements, I have come up with an unscientific list of predictions for the 2025 Longlist.
Here's what I reckon might make the list:
- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Dream Count
- Kaliane Bradley - The Ministry of Time
- Clare Chambers - Shy Creatures
- Carys Davies - Clear
- Miranda July - All Fours
- Rachel Khong - Real Americans
- Emily Maguire - Rapture
- Elizabeth O'Connor - Whale Fall
- Sally Rooney - Intermezzo
- Elif Shafak - There are Rivers in the Sky
- Ali Smith - Gliff
- Anne Tyler - Three Days in June
- Yael Van Der Wouden - The Safekeep
- Evie Wyld - The Echoes
Of course, some of this may just be wishful thinking....
All shall be revealed in a couple of days, enough time for me to finish another title and prepare for my March reading.
