orange ladies
Finalists for the Orange Prize for new women writers have been announced:
Journalist Diana Evans has been chosen for her debut 26a, about twins living in London brought up by their Nigerian mother and dissatisfied British father.
New York-based Nell Freudenberger's Lucky Girls is a collection of short stories set in Asia.
The third contender is Meg Rosoff's How I Live, about a girl sent to England from New York for one 'perfect summer'.
How I Live Now is a completely beautiful young adult novel that I highly recommend. And the Freudenberger was okay too.

Maybe they figure is she wins an award everyone will forget about the size of her advance!
(Or alternately, that she'll never get that much one again. I have no idea how Lucky Girls sold, but I can't imagine it earned out. But I could be wrong.)
