jlhammar Yay! Happy to see the Neapolitan Novels and The Marriage Portrait on there. Love those. I thought Remote Sympathy was really good as well. 1y

The #WomensPrize shortlist is out! What do you all think? I‘m really disappointed that #RemoteSympathy didn‘t make it, I enjoyed it the most. #TheSentence is also great, and #GreatCircle is definitely a masterpiece, although I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I hoped it would. #TheBreadtheDevilKnead is also not to my taste. I haven‘t read the others.

squirrelbrain I got 3 right on my list, although I‘m claiming 4 as the Shafak was 7th on my list! I too am disappointed about Remote Sympathy. My least fave on the shortlist is the Ozeki, I just didn‘t love it. (edited) 2y

TrishB I didn‘t even finish Remote Sympathy! Need to read some more though as only read 2 on shortlist. 2y

jlhammar I'm pretty pleased with it. Four of the six I was hoping to see here made it. The only one I haven't read here is The Bread the Devil Knead so planning to give that one a try before the winner is announced. I agree, it's a shame Remote Sympathy didn't advance. I would have swapped Great Circle for Remote Sympathy or Build Your House Around My Body. 2y

TheKidUpstairs I decided not to read the full long list, I was waiting for this and now I'll dive in! 2y

JillR None of the ones I‘ve had chance to read so far have made it to the shortlist! Now is that an excuse to buy more books?! 2y

thewallflower0707 @TrishB Why didn‘t you like it? 2y

thewallflower0707 @TheKidUpstairs Smart Choice, though I would really recommend adding Remote Sympathy to the list too! I thought it was very special. 2y

thewallflower0707 @Squirrel oh no, Ozeki sounds cool, why didn‘t you like it? I definitely want to read Shafak‘s book! 2y

thewallflower0707 @JillR Definitely, treat yourself! 2y

TrishB I didn‘t like the writing style or the characters- thought Greta just came across really stupid and naive. It generally came across really unbelievable. I did give it 150 pages but I guess it wasn‘t for me. 2y
