Women's Prize for Fiction: the Short List!

Save the date!  We will have a winner for the Women's Prize for Fiction, formally the Orange Prize, on June 5th.  Until then, you have some reading to do!  Here's the list:

• Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
• NW by Zadie Smith
• Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
• May We Be Forgiven by A.M. Homes
• Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
• Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

Clearly, we are spoiled for choice.  Congratulations to the women whose works have made it thus far!
