Predicting the Longlist of my Favourite Literary Prize | Walter Scott Prize 2025

Robert Harris has been shortlisted for the world Scot prize several times before most recently for his novel Act of Oblivion which I absolutely loved I thought it was incredible

this is a debut novel a sort of Victorian Thriller about a housemade I'm covering the very dark messy troubled secrets of the house she works in and it's so good and so pacy and so well done

it's both like very funny and exceptionally dark and the way it looks at like power dynamics is so Grim but so well done

his novel now we should be entirely free was on the short list several years ago and I just absolutely loved it one of my favorite books that I've read from the world Scot prize

this is a novel set in Ireland and England in the 18th century about a Alchemist and a sex worker and a mysterious book it's a wonderful novel

I have read the household it's a wonderful novel

I read his novel The Magician when it was shortlisted a few years ago and really enjoyed it

I read lean Delworth debut novel The Theater of Marvels a couple of years ago really loved it
