Vote for the Man Booker Best of Beryl

Which of the five do you think deserves the title?

The late, much-loved novelist Dame Beryl Bainbridge was shortlisted five times for the Booker Prize, but never actually won. Despite many other literary accolades, she was famous for being the ‘Booker Bridesmaid.' In her honour, the Booker Prize Foundation has created a special prize, The Man Booker Best of Beryl, and asks the public to consider which of her five shortlisted novels best deserves to win this special tribute prize.

No author has ever been shortlisted as many times for the prize. Her shortlisted books included The Dressmaker (1973); The Bottle Factory Outing (1974); An Awfully Big Adventure (1990); Every Man for Himself (1996) and Master George (1998) all of which are now published in paperback by Abacus.

Voting has now closed and the winning title will be announced on Tuesday 19 April.
