The 2021 Stella Prize Longlist

The Stella Prize 2021 longlist has been announced!

Which have you read and loved/hated/not been excited by?

I’ve read four! I’ve highlighted them below and linked them to my reviews. I’m not a fan of A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing but loved the other three I’ve read. I’m just going to come out and say it here, I really, REALLY, really want The Bass Rock to win. The shortlist will be announced on Thursday 25th March.
