The twelve shortlisted books explore a kaleidoscope of themes through inventive narratives, and range across multiple genres; from fiction, memoir and poetry to illustrated picture books and young adult fiction. We have a set of each shortlist for two lucky winners to discover – just choose whether you'd love to receive the Jhalak Prize shortlist, the Jhalak Children's & YA Prize shortlist, or either!
