Description
From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of black British women. Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.
The 12 central characters of this multi-voiced novel lead vastly different lives: Amma is a newly acclaimed playwright whose work often explores her black lesbian identity; her old friend, Shirley, is a teacher, jaded after decades of work in London's funding-deprived schools; Carole, one of Shirley's former students, is a successful investment banker; Carole's mother, Bummi, works as a cleaner and worries about her daughter's lack of rootedness despite her obvious achievements. From a nonbinary social media influencer to a 93-year-old woman living on a farm in Northern England, these unforgettable characters also intersect in shared aspects of their identities, from age to race to sexuality to class.
Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centering voices we often see othered, and written in an innovative fast-moving form that borrows technique from poetry, Girl, Woman, Other is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that shows a side of Britain we rarely see, one that reminds us of all that connects us to our neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart.

"Narrator Anna-Maria Nabirye's warm, rhythmic voice embraces listeners from the first rush of words in this Booker Award-winning kaleidoscope of a novel.... Funny, sad, gripping, thought-provoking stories told with pacing and characterizations you'll long remember." (AudioFile Magazine)

Girl woman other
The story was engaging and insightful, objective in its portrayal of the generations it portrayed. The performer was incredible, each character enhanced with her vocal ability. I will recommend this book!

Seductive and Layered
It was a slow burn that never scorches, but seduces with so many layers. While the 1st layer is often loud and brash, the other subsequent layers are quietly subversive. Well done Ms Evaristo🔥🔥🔥

Invigorating and Captivating
I thoroughly enjoyed this booked - discovered by a recommendation on TikTok! Love the way the characters are interconnected, the 6 degrees of separation and the ways in which each one’s social identity (race, gender identity and expression, class, etc) is shaped under the larger umbrella of white supremacy and patriarchy. And I did not see or predict the end!!!

An absolute reread
I am glad I went for this one. An absolute reread. I learned a lot, enjoyed the characters, how they connected and who they were individually. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Great book, captivating narrator
This was my first time reading a Bernardine Evaristo book. And I REALLY enjoyed it, especially the way the story linked each character to the one in the chapter before and/or after the other. The intersection of the key themes - culture, gender, women, society, sexual orientation, immigration, social circles, and family resonated with me and made me think of my own experiences as a young, South Asian, woman and about the women in my life, their struggles, sacrifices, accomplishments and experiences.
I highly recommend this book. Even though peoples’ lives intersect so much each person has their own unique story, struggle and experiences to share, and this book is a reminder of that.
The narrator was great, I was captivated throughout the entire audiobook.

Extraordinary
A fascinating novel, interweaving multiple story lines and characters through various time periods in Britain. It's a raw, honest portrayal of women's experiences in this world, from varying perspectives. Immensely enjoyable and engaging.
