From Prince Harry’s epic memoir to Britney Spears’s chilling autobiography, David Grann’s historical novel The Wager to Rebecca Yarros’ fantasy fiction Fourth Wing, here is Livemint’s pick of the top five best sellers of 2023.
The £50,000 award - not counting the bonanza of royalties the flashbulb-popping prize generates - went to Paul Lynch for his dystopian novel, Prophet Song, about a woman desperately trying to save her family from a vortex of violence as Ireland is engulfed by a tidal force of totalitarianism.
The book was among six titles competing for the accolade, all of which were category winners at the 2023 An Post Irish Book Awards.
