Sun hat, travel plug, mosquito spray, proper tea bags… what else are you packing for your summer holiday? If you’ll allow us to make a suggestion, we recommend you leave space in your luggage for another essential item: a Booker Prize book.
Wherever you’re going, we believe there’s a work of fiction among the 500+ titles in the Booker Library – our archive of all the books that have ever been longlisted or shortlisted for the Booker – to not only complement every type of trip, but enhance it.
Whether you’re exploring the French countryside, sipping coffee in a Tuscan piazza or sheltering behind a windbreak on a Great British beach, there’s a Booker book to suit the mood.
To prove it, we’ve created six summer-themed reading lists, each featuring a selection of fiction from the Booker archive – from household names to hidden gems. We’ve got books set in hotels, books set by the sea, books about road trips and more.
Hopefully, you’ll find a new favourite here. Bon voyage!
