The Booker Prize is the leading literary award in the English speaking world, and has brought recognition, reward and readership to outstanding fiction for over five decades. Each year, the prize is awarded to what is, in the opinion of the judges, the best novel of the year written in English and published in the UK and Ireland.
Booker Prize Shortlist: Profile, Readers Guide, Extracts, Readings
“No-one writes interior life as Strout does. This is meticulous observed writing, full of probing psychological insight. Lucy Barton is one of literature’s immortal characters – brittle, damaged, unravelling, vulnerable and most of all, ordinary, like us all.”
Profile and collection of features including written interviews, an article on the Lucy Barton series, a Reading Guide (for bookclubs and individual readers), a video Q&A with readers, and two short videos featuring Anna Friel reading extracts from Oh William!

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout, and award-winning actress Laura Linney, discuss bringing the beloved novel My Name is Lucy Barton to the stage. Broadway previews begin Jan 6.
Award-winning actress Laura Linney returns to Broadway in Manhattan Theatre Club's production of a haunting new solo play adapted by Rona Munro from the bestselling novel by Elizabeth Strout.
A sold-out sensation originally produced by the London Theatre Company at the Bridge Theatre in London, Ms Linney was hailed as "luminous" by the The New York Times, "genuinely phenomenal" by Time Out London, and the play was called "deeply affecting and heartbreaking" by The Observer.
