6 titles that made the 2023 Booker shortlist

Bernstein, who was born in Canada, was named to Granta’s checklist of Greatest Younger British Novelists in 2023. In her new novel, her second, a lady strikes to a distant nation to run her brother’s home after his marriage dissolves. The inhabitants of the close by city, although, deal with the protagonist with suspicion, even hostility — particularly as unusual issues begin taking place to the native animals and crops quickly after she arrives.
