Hannah Adger anticipates eight long weeks’ reprieve from school, but when her classmate Ross succumbs to a violent and mysterious illness, it marks the beginning of a summer like no other. Do keep coming back to this post as I will update the hyperlinks as and when I review each title. I have read one title on this year’s list, have a couple already on my TBR and the remaining couple are new-to-me titles.īelow is this year’s shortlist, arranged in alphabetical order by author surname, with the publisher’s synopsis underneath. I have been following this prize for many years now and I usually try to read all the books on the shortlist. This year the festival runs from 1st to 5th June. Instead, a shortlist is revealed a couple of months before Listowel Writers’ Week - Ireland’s oldest literary festival - and the winner is named on the opening night of the festival. No longlist is announced for this annual prize. There are five novels in the running for The Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year award, which is worth €15,000 to the winner. Hooray! Yesterday the shortlist for my favourite literary prize was revealed.
