A moving memoir by Swedish singer Neneh Cherry and the gripping story of a heart transplant by British doctor Rachel Clarke are among finalists for the Women’s Prize for Nonfiction, set up to help fix the gender imbalance in nonfiction publishing.
Cherry’s “A Thousand Threads” and Clarke’s “The Story of a Heart” are on a six-book shortlist for the 30,000 pound ($39,000) prize.
