MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD 2025

The SHORTLIST for the 2025 Miles Franklin Literary Award has been announced. The Miles Franklin Literary Award celebrates novels of the highest literary merit that tell stories about Australian life, shining a light on some of the country’s most talented writers. The winner receives $60,000.

Nightingale

Laura Elvery offers a highly original literary gem inspired by the life of Florence Nightingale, that is a blend of historical fiction, ghost story and romance.

RYTUAL

Marnie is in her late 20s and a bit adrift when she is recruited by a major beauty label that has a reputation for being a bit of a cult.

In Chloe Elisabeth Wilson’s debut novel, a darkly funny thriller, as Marnie gets closer to Luna Peters, rytual cosmetica’s enigmatic founder, cracks begin to reveal the darkness behind the brand.

King of Dirt

Holden Sheppard (Invisible Boys) brings us a story about Giacomo Brolo – Jack – who is a mess, works piecemeal construction gigs in remote WA, drinks himself to oblivion and is estranged from his family and friends.

When Jack returns to his hometown of Geraldton for a family wedding his past soon catches up with him. There's his deeply conservative Italian family, who would prefer he remained in the closet, an ex-girlfriend to face up to and the mystery of his first love, Xavier.

Boom Town Snap

Jay Martin's novel follows Georgie from the Australian mining fields to the Canadian oil industry.

When Georgie's boss-turned-lover, Nico, offers her a high-stakes job in Canada, she wants to say no. But burdened by debt and swayed by Nico's promises that the gig will be quick and lucrative, Georgie feels she has no choice – even though it means leaving behind the people she loves the most.

Swapping an Australian mining town for the rugged Albertan oilfields, Georgie's finally finding her way in a man's world but is it all as good as it seems?

LONG ISLAND

Continuing the story started with Brooklyn, Colm Tóibín takes us to Long Island, 20 years on, where Eilis is confronted by a life-changing situation that sends her back to Ireland looking for answers.

By Her Hand

Marion Taffe takes us back ancient England: Peak District, Mercia, AD 910: a young girl, Freda, works hard to avoid her father's temper, while longing for his approval. She loves foraging in the woods and hearthside stories of heroes. Secretly she thinks in poetry and dreams of one day being able to write; her quills are grass stalks and sticks, her parchment the sky, the earth, her skin. But Freda's world is at war, and her village is decimated.

Taken in by the church, she is under the control of a bishop who, as well as teaching Freda to write, uses her survival as evidence of a miracle so as to attract pilgrims who bring wealth. Freda gradually develops a friendship with the Mercian leader Ethelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, who shows her what it is to lead as a woman in a world that worships warrior kings.

I WANT EVERYTHING

In Dominic Amerena’s I Want Everything, an ambitious young writer worms his way into the world of Brenda Shales, a reclusive cult author who disappeared after a mysterious plagiarism case. Brenda starts to open up but the writer begins to question her story. At the same time his own deceptions start to weigh heavily.

The Opposite of Lonely

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Rose is divorced, has a young son and a job she enjoys in a café with a supportive boss who has taught her some practical budgeting skills. She's getting by, though her network is small and there are times when she feels quite isolated from the world. Then Ellie comes into her life serendipitously, and Rose rediscovers the joy of having a close friend to share ordinary pleasures with, to feel seen again. But really, is Ellie a good friend? Is everything she does for Rose, the best thing for her?

A finely written novel of quiet depth and seemingly simple observations, this is another thoughtful story from Hilde Hinton, a writer who sees that the ordinary life is never as ordinary as it looks. Highly recommended. Lindy

Time Together

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A group of long-time friends catch-up for a short beach break at the coastal house of Phil's parents, where Phil has been gradually emerging from the loss of his mother to illness. Joining Phil at the beach house are two families with three young kids between them plus a friend who is single once again after yet another relationship break-up. This gentle story has a sunny flow where, amid banter and a substance-enhanced evening to reclaim their youthful selves, the personalities (and tensions) of each emerge and there's the simmering mystery of why the daughter of Bella – Bella being one of the larger personalities in the group – isn't talking to her. A family story that will resonate with many. Craig

Twist

Booker-longlisted author, Colum McCann, delivers a darkly epic novel about connection, disconnection and destruction..

Anthony Fennell, a journalist, is in pursuit of a story buried at the bottom of the sea: the network of tiny fibre-optic tubes that carry the world’s information across the ocean floor – and what happens when they break.

THE REMARKABLE TRUTHS OF ALFIE BAINS

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Sarah Clutton's Alfie is a rather precocious nine year old who has always believed his Mum Emilia saying they have no other family. But when she nearly dies from a burst appendix, she tells him they are going to Tasmania to stay with her mother, and he discovers that not only has she lied about his grandmother, but there are a slew of other relatives too. Alfie is extremely self-possessed, full of curiosity (and stray facts) and he sets out to discover who his father is – after all it's a small town and someone must know. Emilia has had many reasons to have stayed away from Beggars Rock, not least that she is blamed by the richest family in town for the death of their beloved son Julian.

With different timelines weaving the strands of the story together, this is a very readable and satisfying story of small towns and big lies – and even bigger truths.  Lindy

Consider Yourself Kissed

Jessica Stanley writes about life as we live it, following Coralie's journey into love and dramatic social times.

Coralie grew up in Australia but needed to escape some ghosts. Adrift in London, she meets witty, sexy, generous Adam – and his charming four-year-old daughter. Falling in love is fun. And then?

Coralie yearns for children of her own, and to become a writer. But her trips back to Australia change her perspective. Ten years on, something essential is missing.
