Her third novel, Bina: A Novel in Warnings, centred on Our Woman's best friend from her first book Malarky,[10]was published in 2019 in Canada and 2020 in UK.[11]Bina was shortlisted for the 2020 Goldsmiths Prize.[12] The jury described the novel as "Startlingly original and horribly funny, Anakana Schofield's Bina is that rare thing: a black comedy about euthanasia. Composed as a series of warnings scribbled on the backs of envelopes from the safety of her bed, the narrator is a septuagenarian who has had enough. And we can see why: her front garden is filled with political activists, her back garden with medical waste; her lodger stayed on for an extra ten years and she is suspected of murdering her best friend. In all her despair, and empathy for the despair of others, Bina emerges from her elliptical missives, addressed to everyone but no-one in particular, as an eccentric heroine of monumental moral courage." The novel will be published in February, 2021 in the US by the New York Review of Books.[13]
