What a great week it has been for women writers!
In an announcement that broke their own rules, judges awarded the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2019 jointly to two fabulous authors.
Margaret Atwood is the oldest ever winner of the Booker at the age of seventy-nine. Her winning book, “The Testaments”, is the follow-up to “The Handmaid’s Tale”.
