Followup to Discussion about (former) Orange Prize for Fiction at the Last Meeting

Hilary Mantel, Zadie Smith, and Barbara Kingsolver are all in the running for this year's women's prize for fiction.

The 2013 women's prize for fiction will be awarded tonight, June 5, 2013. Linda found out that the yearly prize for fiction written by a woman, which was written in English and published in the UK in the preceding year, is going to be sponsored by Bailey's (the liqueur company) starting in 2014. Here is a link to an article in the Guardian, which Linda sent along.

UPDATE: Surprise winner! A.M. Homes won the 2013 women's prize for fiction for her book May We Be Forgiven.
