A dig into personal ancestry. The voice of a voiceless muse. “Seven very different stories with very different approaches have reached the shortlist for this year’s Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction. As with the best historical novels, each book offers the reader more than the story. “This year we explore martyrdom, self-knowledge, remorse, exile, art’s human price, complex relationships under an unsettling sun and the impossibility of knowing exactly who we are. “As required by the prize criteria, all the novels on our 2023 shortlist are set sixty years or more in the past, but how vividly they speak to the present. “We hope you’ll read, enjoy and watch out for the winner.” Previous winners include Sebastian Barry and James Robertson. The winner will be announced at a special event at the Borders Book Festival on Thursday, June 15.
