The Wilderness by Samantha Harvey: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... and Wilderness by Lance Weller: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... seem to have been merged and I can't figure out how to separate them. The Wilderness by Harvey is the one published in 2009 that won awards (nominated for Booker etc.) while the Weller book was published in 2012 and did not win any awards that I can see. I did go through all the editions looking for the ones where both authors were listed and deleted the "wrong" authors that I found, but the books remain merged.

Look at All Editions.https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Use the separate tool in the upper right corner.

It won't let me separate out the most popular edition of the work, which is the one assigned to the wrong author. So I guess I will separate out all of the other editions, delete the awards from the wrong edition, then combine all 31 separated editions and re-add the awards, then go back and fix the "work" information for the Weller book to have the accurate publication date and so on? I will do it if that's the only way.
ETA: done!
So separate the one by the other author instead.
Yes, that's the only way, and well done.
