Booker 2022 Our Predictions for Winner

booker-prize-1

Who do we think has what it takes?

BookWorm: I would love to see Seven Moons however the Booker judges and I never agree so it will probably by Glory.

Tracy: This has been an incredible shortlist, and it was a great longlist. I would be happy to see any of the books win, and I don’t ever say that. Prediction for the WINNER: The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida.

Nicole:  I, too, wish for Seven Moons.  But I suspect sentimentality will win out, and my prediction is Treacle Walker. 

Anita: I would love to see Glory win, however, the Booker judges and I never agree so it will probably be Seven Moons.

Lisa: My favorite is The Trees.  But my prediction is Glory — given its unique style and focus on politics on a large scale.

Jen: My prediction is that The Trees will take it. It is my personal favorite from this list which probably means it won’t be selected but I do think it ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to the types of books that are often selected.

What are your predictions for the winner?

    The only one I’ve read is Small Things, which I don’t think should or will win.

    I’m rooting for Treacle, but suspect the Claire Keegan will get it. Who knows?

    My predictions are better than my taste apparently.
