We are over the moon to share that Prophet Song by Paul Lynch has been shortlisted for the #BookerPrize2023 @thebookerprizes 🎉

'Propulsive, unsparing and terribly moving, the book warns of the precarity of democratic ideals’ the judges said.

Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of a country at war and a deeply human portrait of a mother’s fight to hold her family together.

A huge congratulations to Paul and all the other shortlisted writers!

Ever since Sappho first put stylus to papyrus, women who write have been labelled mad, undisciplined and dangerous. Funny and provocative, Eve Bites Back offers an alternative history of English literature. Placing the female contemporaries of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton centre stage, Anna Beer builds a vibrant new canon through Restoration wits, scandalous sensation novelists and medieval mystics.

Warned not to write – and certainly not to bite – these women put pen to paper anyway and wrote themselves into history.

Eve Bites Back by Anna Beer is out in paperback this October
