Women's Prize for Fiction newsletter

 With competitions and more:

 

As the mercury drops this week, it's time to lock the doors, cancel all plans and curl up with a good book. We've got the perfect reads for your (potentially) snowy nights! 

We were thrilled with the news that the Royal Shakespeare Company are staging the Women's Prize-winning novel Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti and opening in April. Book your tickets quick for this one, it's bound to sell out! Which makes this the perfect time to revisit this seminal read – and luckily enough we have five copies to give away. And if that's not enough Maggie for you, grab your headphones and listen to her chat to Vick Hope over on the podcast. 

Stay warm.

 

 

Frosty reads for freezing nights

As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, curl up with one of these five brilliant books perfect for winter nights. Each one has a richly woven narrative that will transport you away from the sofa or from a dreary commute to different worlds and into the heads of masterfully written characters.

 

 

Join our book-a-day challenge

There's only a few days left to join in with our Women's Prize Christmas book-a-day challenge. 

All your choices will be compiled into our Christmas Library, so don't miss out and let us know your festive favourites.

 

 

Bookshelfie: Maggie O'Farrell

Award-winning author Maggie O'Farrell joins Vick on the podcast to talk through the level of research that is really required to write a historical masterpiece like Hamnet.

With book choices from Amy Bloom to Anne Enright, discover the novels that shaped her. 

 

 

Win a copy of Hamnet

The new play based on Maggie O'Farrell's bestselling novel, pulls back a curtain on the imagined family life of the greatest writer in the English language.
