Brick Lane author, Monica Ali, has said that the 2024 Women’s Prize for Fiction longlist gives a voice to those who would “otherwise remain voiceless”.
The writer is chair of the judges for the prize which celebrates original fiction written in English by women from anywhere in the world.
It features work by eight debut novelists and seven independent publishers on several stories that deal with the “emotional impact of immigration” and “the narratives we create for ourselves when we feel we don’t belong”, according to the Women’s Prize Trust.
Other themes explored by the sixteen books include trauma, madness and resilience, individual and societal grief in war, the relationship between art and politics, what it means to be a queer member of a family, and motherhood and autonomy.
