After looking at the six titles shortlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction and after listening to Eric at Lonesome Reader discussing the six titles in-depth, it comes as no surprise to me that this years winner is:
the extraordinary debut, a novel of literary humour and insight:
The Glorious Heresies
by Lisa McInerney

Might be reading The glorious Heresies over the holidays in August. I picked it up on ebook when I saw it was on the longlist.

I’ve picked up The Vegetarian, the Man Booker International winner but would like to read this one eventually as well, I’m a bit behind on reading Baileys Prize winners.
