The Orange Prize shortlist for 2010 was announced this week. Here is the shortlist:
Rosie Alison The Very Thought of You
Barbara Kingsolver The Lacuna
Attica Locke Black Water Rising
Hilary Mantel Wolf Hall
Lorrie Moore A Gate at the Stairs
Monique Roffey The White Woman on the Green Bicycle
An eclectic mix of books, I have read The Lacuna and I loved it, its set in Mexico during the 30s and features the artist Frieda Kahlo and Leon Trotsky, the Russian revolutionary. I have also read Black Water Rising, which is like a literary John Grisham.
