The author of the Booker Prize-winning 2019 novel “Girl, Woman, Other” is:

1. A

   Margaret Atwood

   (a) Margaret Atwood. She jointly won the 2019 Booker for The Testaments, not for Girl, Woman, Other.

2. B

   Elif Shafak

   (b) Elif Shafak. Shortlisted that year for 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, not the keyed novel.

3. C

   Salman Rushdie

   (c) Salman Rushdie. A past Booker winner (Midnight’s Children); not the 2019 Girl, Woman, Other author.

4. D

   Bernardine Evaristo

   (d) Bernardine Evaristo. She wrote Girl, Woman, Other and shared the 2019 Booker Prize with Atwood—the first Black woman Booker winner. (d) Official key.

Summary. Official key is (d). Girl, Woman, Other is Bernardine Evaristo’s novel. Atwood’s joint 2019 win was for a different book; do not merge the two titles.
