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.
Tune into host Vick Hope and a line-up of incredible guests on our weekly podcast full of unmissable book recommendations.
