“Best of the best” is part of the celebrations to mark 20 years of the annual £30,000 prize.
The Nigerian author won in 2007 for her story, her second novel, set during the Biafran War of the 1960s.

Other winners of the Baileys Prize from the last decade include Zadie Smith for On Beauty and Eimear McBride for A Girl is a Half-formed Thing.
Established in 1996, the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction – formally the Orange Prize for Fiction, is awarded to the best novel of the year written by a woman. Baileys took over sponsorship in 2014
