A writer from Oman won the International Booker Prize

It is noted that she won an award for the book Celestial Bodies.

As specified, the prize of £ 50 thousand will be divided equally between Alhartha and translator Marilyn Booth.

“Joha Alhartha, the first female novelist from Oman, (whose work is RT ) was translated into English, the first author from the Persian Gulf countries to receive the award,” the text says.

In October 2018, the British writer Anna Burns won the Booker Prize (Man Booker Prize) for the novel Milkman, written on behalf of an 18-year-old girl.
