Congratulations to Karen Jennings, whose book ‘An Island’ has been longlisted for the #2021BookerPrize The judges said: ‘An Island concerns itself with lives lived on the margins through the moving story of a man who has exiled himself from the known world, only to find himself been called to the service of others, themselves exiled from the world by cruelty and circumstance. It is on these grounds that this writer deftly constructs a moving, transfixing novel of loss, political upheaval, history, identity all rendered in majestic and extraordinary prose.’ #FinestFiction #HollandHouse3525
