The Bessie Book Club: The Green Road

Enjoy a sneak peek of the 2016 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction shortlist with The Bessie Book Club.

Over the next six weeks leading up to the 2016 winner’s announcement, we’ll be featuring a sample from each book on this year’s brilliant shortlist. First up is Anne Enright’s The Green Road, a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion, set on Ireland’s Atlantic coast.

Sit back, relax, kick off your shoes (maybe even pour yourself a cheeky Baileys) and enjoy the first chapter of The Green Road.
