Books by Doucet, Roy make shortlist for Women’s Prize for Nonfiction
LONDON — Two books about hotels in wartime are among finalists for the Women’s Prize for Nonfiction.
The six-book shortlist announced recently includes “The Finest Hotel in Kabul” by Lyse Doucet and Jane Rogoyska’s “Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War.”
The list also includes Indian author Arundhati Roy’s memoir “Mother Mary Comes to Me” and books about migration and art.
The award is a companion to the Women’s Prize for Fiction. Organizers launched the prize in 2024 after data showed men dominate major nonfiction publishing and reviews.
The winners of both prizes will be announced June 11 in London.
