Before I stumbled across the Orange Prize Project I must admit to having been completely unfamiliar with the Prize. Many of the writers who have won are familiar to me, but more of them are "to read"s than "have read"s. As such, I decided there was no time like 2010. The Orange Prize books (winners, shortlisted and a few from the long lists) I'll be tackling this year are:
Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
On Beauty by Zadie Smith
Everyman's Rules for Scientific Living by Carrie Tiffany
Digging to America by Anne Tyler
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
When We Were Bad by Charlotte Mendelson
The Road Home by Rose Tremain
Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller
Fox Girl by Okja Keller
What the Birds See by Sonya Hartnett
Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
