Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel and Julian Barnes have all won which literacy prize?

This question tests your knowledge of a major prize for fiction. The Booker Prize is the prize these authors have all won. It’s one of the most prestigious awards for a novel written in English and published in the UK. Ian McEwan won it in 1998 for Amsterdam, Hilary Mantel won it twice (Wolf Hall in 2009 and Bring Up the Bodies in 2012), and Julian Barnes won in 2011 for The Sense of an Ending. The other options don’t fit: the Turner Prize is for visual art, the Mercury Prize is for music, and the Nobel Prize in Literature is a broader global award not specifically associated with these novels.
