Some of the finalists included 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead. It was a powerful novel that reimagined the Underground Railroad as an actual railroad underground. It explored themes of slavery, freedom, and the journey towards a better life in a very unique and engaging way.
Another one was 'LaRose' by Louise Erdrich. This book delved into complex family relationships and the concept of justice within a Native American community. It told a story of loss, love, and the power of forgiveness, with Erdrich's signature beautiful prose.
I'm not sure of all the finalists off the top of my head, but these two were quite prominent. There were probably other great works as well that offered different perspectives on various aspects of the human condition through the medium of fiction.
