Congratulations to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie!

The Nigerian superstar has been declared the ‘Winner of Winners’ by the Women’s Prize, after a voting competition celebrating 25 years of unforgettable #WomensPrize winning books.

Reacting to the heartwarming news, Adichie said: “I’m especially moved to be voted ‘Winner of Winners’ because this is the Prize that first brought a wide readership to my work – and has also introduced me to the work of many talented writers.”
