Congratulations to @MaggieShipstead, who is shortlisted for the #2021BookerPrize with ‘Great Circle’

Chair of judges @Jasanoff says: ‘A book of tremendous narrative ambition and scale, 'Great Circle' pulled us into its vividly-created worlds—from prohibition-era Montana to wartime Britain to present-day Hollywood—and made us want to dwell in them indefinitely. 

Maggie Shipstead has an extraordinary ability to conjure characters and settings so fully-realised one feels one knows them—and spills her story out in one gorgeously-crafted sentence after another. 

Absorbing in the manner of the immersive realist novels of the 19th century, the book speaks to ever-present questions about freedom and constraint in womens’ lives.’
