Baileys Prize Book Club: Exclusive Extracts

Below you can read extracts from all six books on this year's Baileys Prize shortlist (presented in alphabetical order). We would love to know what you make of them, let us know in the comments which book you would read first based on these openings (and which ones you would avoid!).

We're reading the whole shortlist in the WLTB Book Club and we would love you to read along with us as part of your book club or as an individual. Get in touch in the comments or on Twitter @welovethisbook if you are planning on reading with us. We will be posting mini reviews along the way and we would love to feature your thoughts if you're joining in.
