The HWA Goldsboro Crown shortlist was announced on Friday 17
May 2013.
A “strong and diverse” shortlist for the Goldsboro Books
and Historical Writers Association debut historical fiction prize 2013 has been
revealed.
Judges have already predicted a hard-fought contest
between titles to claim the final prize, with Goldsboro Books owner David
Headley saying “picking a winner will be immensely hard and is, in many ways,
invidious; any one of these novels could win”.
The shortlist is-
After the Lockout
by Darren McCann (Fourth Estate)
Park Lane
by Frances Osborne (Virago)
The Lifeboat
by Charlotte Rogan (Virago)
The English Monster by Lloyd Shepherd
(Simon & Schuster)
and The Light
Between Oceans by ML Stedman
The prize covers books published between 1st October 2011
and 30th September 2012.
The winner will be announced at a History in the Court event at Goldsboro Books in Cecil Court, London, on 26th September, and the Historical Writers Association will also announce the first recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award at the same time.
