Congratulations to Mary Lawson, whose book ‘A Town Called Solace’ has been longlisted for the #2021BookerPrize The judges said: ‘This deftly-structured novel draws together the stories of three people at three different stages in life, each of whom is grappling with loss. We were captivated by A Town Called Solace’s beautifully paced, compassionate, sometimes wry examination of small-town lives.’ #FinestFiction ChattoBooks VintageBooks PenguinRandomHouse
