    The Children's Book by A S Byatt
    Summertime by J M Coetzee
    The Quickening Maze by Adam Fould
    Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
    The Glass Room by Simon Mawer
    The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

    Of the shortlist, I've only read The Little Stranger. My plan to read the longlist didn't work out - I only got through Me, Cheeta and halfway through The Wilderness, though I'd already read Colm Toibin's Brooklyn and The Little Stranger when they were initially published.
    I better get cracking on these, 'cos the Byatt and the Mantel are massive tomes.
