Which book do our shadow panel think will take the prize?
Boulder by Eva Baltasar
Will the judges be bowled over by this one or will it leave them stony faced?
The Gospel According to the New World by Maryse Conde
BookWorm:
Why it Could Win:.The only shortlist book I have not read which means it is bound to win.
Why it Might Not Win: This has mixed reviews and it is not one that is calling to me.
Rachel:
Why it Could Win: It’s Maryse Conde!
Why it Might Not Win: I just didn’t understand what it was trying to do. Which may very well be a reason for it to win.
Tracy:
Why it Could Win: Maryse Conde is a treasure and her writing history is packed with gems.
Why it Might Not Win: This isn’t one of those gems- it was hard to follow.
What do you think is this the winner?

Could this heavyweight take the title?
Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel
Is this one still in with a chance?
