Huge congratulations to Manya Wilkinson - winner of this year’s prize for the magnificent Lublin. Thank you to our judges @ericawgnr.bsky.social @keironpim.bsky.social @alicesherwood.bsky.social and Rabbi Zahavit Shalet

I’m very grateful to have been a @thewingateprize.bsky.social judge and to have read this and the other brilliant books on our shortlist. What an enriching and stimulating experience this has been… thank you to all involved in running and judging the prize.

Lublin by Manya Wilkinson (pub. @andotherstories.bsky.social ) is such a worthy winner. It’s a beautiful, funny, poignant short novel told with exquisite control; a prewar Yiddish fable refracted through a postwar lens. A book that we judges all wanted to press on people and say: “Read this!”

This funny, moving, extraordinary novel is a worthy winner from a magnificent shortlist. Bravo Manya Wilkinson & @andotherstories.bsky.social —

Massive congratulations to Manya Wilkinson for winning @thewingateprize.bsky.social - the UK's foremost prize for Jewish literature! So thrilled to be able to host such a special event at Jewish Book Week with the shortlisted authors and judges!
