Margaret Atwood, Bernardine Evaristo share the Booker Prize 2019

In a daring move with the judges breaking the rules, Margaret Atwood and Bernardine Evaristo have been named the joint winners of the 2019 Booker Prize. Atwood's The Testaments, the Canadian writer's follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale, was recognised alongside Londoner Evaristo's novel Girl, Woman, Other. The pair will split the literary award's 50,000 pound sterling prize money equally.
