The Femina jury has announced its first selection for the 2026 prizes, according to Livres Hebdo. The trade publication did not detail the titles retained at this stage in the material available to this desk.
This year's winners will succeed Nathacha Appanah, Marc Weitzmann and John Boyne, who took the prize's fiction, essay and foreign-novel categories respectively last year, Livres Hebdo notes.
The final laureates are to be proclaimed on November 4, per the same source. Founded in 1904 and awarded by an all-women jury, the Femina is one of the season's closely watched literary prizes, running alongside the Goncourt and the Renaudot through the autumn rentrée.
