Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2024

I am beyond thrilled that River East, River West has been shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2024 alongside five other extraordinary books from writers I deeply admire.

As reported by The Guardian:

“Anne Enright, Kate Grenville and Isabella Hammad are among the contenders for this year’s Women’s prize for fiction, on a shortlist that features migration as a recurring theme. French-Chinese-American writer Aube Rey Lescure was shortlisted for River East, River West, a reversal of the east-to-west immigrant narrative, set against China’s economic boom. Rey Lescure is the only debut writer on this year’s shortlist, despite the fact that debuts made up half of the longlist.”
