Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives of each of 12 principal characters as they navigate the world. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years, with a broad and diverse spectrum of black women’s voices, all distinct, from differing backgrounds, ages, roots, class, occupations, families, from many parts of the country and sexuality in all its forms.
Bernardine Evaristo writes vibrantly of a contemporary Britain that is rarely seen, challenging, giving the reader a glimpse of its past, present and future, with a seamless feminist narrative that goes back and forth in time, an unconventional structure, poetic prose, and a disregard of the normal conventions of punctuation.
This novel won the Booker Prize in 2019 and many other prizes.
If you wish to participate, please let us know per email. Thank you!
