Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction shortlist announced

Although I had posted the longlist some time ago, I forgot to check back for the shortlist announcement until I happened to see it discussed on Eve's Alexandria.  I've read half of the six finalists and based on those three, I think this might be a very solid, perhaps slightly predictable, group.  Bolded titles are the ones I've already read:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Americanah
Hannah Kent - Burial Rites
Jhumpa Lahiri - The Lowland
Audrey Magee - The Undertaking
Eimear McBride - A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing
Donna Tartt - The Goldfinch

Winner will be announced June 4th.
