The field for the €20,000 Novel of the Year award includes Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US, and Strange Flowers by Donal Ryan, winner of the An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year.
Also in contention are two Booker Prize winners, Anne Enright for Actress and Roddy Doyle for Love, and Colum McCann’s Booker-longlisted and International Dublin Literary Award-shortlisted Apeirogon. The inclusion of Irish Times columnist Hilary Fannin’s debut novel The Weight of Love is recognition both of its brilliance and her award-winning record as a journalist and playwright.
