The 2023 longlist practically bursts with new voices as nine out of the sixteen included works are from first-time authors. This year’s list even sees the return of two former Women’s Prize winners, Maggie O’Farrell and Barbara Kingsolver.

Every one of these 16 books is excellent and original in its own individual way; they all offer fresh perspectives on history and humanity, exploring hard truths with empathy, sensitivity, directness, and sometimes infectious humor”.

- Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris
