So, who has the best chance of winning the 2022 Miles Franklin Award? Read a brief description of each title and take a look at the latest odds by bookmakers.

Scary Monsters by Michelle de Kretser is an imaginative work of current interest. The novel stands against all discriminations that disturb today’s Australia: racism, ageism, misogyny, and others. The critics praised the work, while the bookies put it high on their favorites’ lists.

The Other Half of You raises an issue of race, religion, and culture in Australia and its capital. This is a harsh yet inspiring story that will not leave someone indifferent. That’s what critics say about the last Michael Mohammed Ahmad’s work. No wonder it has one of the best chances of winning the award according to 22Bet.

Bodies of Light tells a mystical yet positive story of a young girl who faces this world as Josie and Holly. It perfectly represents the power of women and the kindness they can bring and use in this world. The novel was named Jennifer Down’s best work.

One Hundred Days by Alice Pung is another title that takes us to a modern society full of racism and gender bias. An unfair attitude towards different races has been and, in fact, still is a serious problem in some parts of the country.

Grimmish by Michael Winkler is based on the real-life of Joe Grim, the Italian-American boxer who toured Australia in the early 20th century. The title was named as a book of the year by many editions, so you can bet on Miles Franklin Award 2022 to go to this amazing literary work.
