I wasn't aware that the U.K. had an annual prize for fiction written by women; for more on all the books, see the March 16, 2011 slideshow in The Guardian. For the ones I think I might read:
Lyrics Alley Leila Aboulela
Jamrach's Menagerie Carol Birch
The Pleasure Seekers Tishani Doshi - maybe
The Memory of Love Aminatta Forna - already on my list...should really get on that
The Seas Samantha Hunt - I think I have another book by this author on the list (Invention of Everything?)
The Birth of Love Joanna Kavenna
Great House Nicole Krauss - have I read about this book elsewhere?
The Tiger's Wife Tea Obreht - okay, I thought it looked intriguing when I saw it in the window of the Harvard Bookstore, and then the Times loved it (more than once), and now this...really must read it sooner rather than later
Swamplandia Karen Russell - already on the list
The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives Lola Shoneyin - I wish the title didn't rhyme :(
Annabel Kathleen Winter - on the list
Also on the list: Room, by Emma Donoghue, which I still think was just amazing...
