Waterstones Book of the Year: Julian Barnes shortlisted

LEVELS OF LIFE by Julian Barnes has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year 2013. 

Waterstones booksellers across the country were asked to nominate the book they thought deserved the title of Book of the Year. They were asked to choose a book that stood out in its field, and that would speak to the company’s core customers – those people who love reading and that love books.

‘We have enjoyed another year of extraordinary publishing with our booksellers championing a great array of titles.” said Waterstones Managing Director James Daunt. “As you would expect, they have selected an eclectic and surprising shortlist for our Book of the Year, all fabulous books that are distinctively inspiring and which I am sure will provoke as much passionate interest from our customers as they already have from our booksellers.’

The winner will be announced on Tuesday 3rd December.
