Nigerian writers continue to break barriers in the world of literature, as three Nigerian female authors have been longlisted for this year’s prestigious Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Every year, the UK Women’s Prize for Fiction awards this literary prize to one female author chosen from the millions of women all over the world who focus on feminity and other related different themes.
After receiving 163 entries, the organisers of the UK Women’s Prize for Fiction have announced their 2019 long list of 16 books.
Making the announcement, Professor Kate Williams, Chair of Judges said,
“Each of them has been a privilege to read. They have taken us into places a million miles from each other, exploring the lives of women and men in so many different but utterly compelling ways.”
