The 2024 Booker Prize shortlist has been announced, with the largest number of women represented in its 55-year history.
Five of the six-strong shortlist are women, with authors from five countries represented, including the Netherlands for the first time.
Each short-listed author receives £2,500 and the winner, announced on 12 November, will win £50,000.
The Booker Prize is a prestigious literary award conferred each year for the best single work of sustained fiction written in the English language, which was published in the United Kingdom and/or Ireland.
