Story
In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman. But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes "interesting" - the last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed, and to be noticed is dangerous. Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is a story of inaction with enormous consequences.

Story
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

Shuggie’s mother Agnes walks a wayward path: She is Shuggie’s guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good - her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamourous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor.

Plunging listeners inside the psyche of a girl isolated by her own dangerously confusing sexuality, pervading guilt, and unrelenting trauma, McBride's writing carries echoes of Joyce, O'Brien, and Woolf.

Publisher's Summary
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.
What the critics say
"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)

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.

Read it!
Great novel. Definitely worthy of its accolades, although its depth and strength doesn't leap of the page from the beginning. Rather it's the building and interweaving that elevate it. Listening to the audiobook you miss out on the visual, textual impact of Evaristo's almost stream of consciousness writing. Nabirye is for the most part a good reader, setting aside the occasional bad accent and mispronunciations.

Boring
I tried but couldn't get far. Characters are tools to make a point, language is witty but behind it there is not enough story to grab my attention. It's too bad, I think she is a gifted writer, but I can hear the typewriter and can't feel the characters or the story. Narrator sounds pretty but there is a repetitive droning rhythm to her reading
that puts me to sleep standing up.

smart, compassionate, confronting and enjoyable
Although this is a book of short stories, they are so well connected one to another that the book reads like a novel. There are twelve chapters, each featuring a different character. They are all black British women. But other than that they don't have a lot in common. They are of many ages and have a wide variety of jobs. They come from different classes and cultures. Some of them are gay. Some are married. And one has come out as transgender (nonbinary) and no longer identifies as female.
It is a book about diversity and culture, but it never feels like the author is trying to force her political opinions upon the reader. In fact it didn't feel like a book exploring differences, but more one of similarities. How am I and this black, British nonbinary person the same? The story is enjoyable and thought-provoking.
I listened to the book on audio, so I cannot speak to the form of the words on the page. I have read that the form and structure are unique, with sections of the book appearing more like poetry than prose. On the audiobook this doesn't really come through.
A book with 12 black protagonists? Yes, and all of them women? Yes!
This is a smart, smart book. But it reads easily, and quickly. It is warm, funny, compassionate, empathetic. The characters are sometimes confronting, but generally likable. I am very close to 5 stars on this one.

Good, but requires listener commitment
The stories woven together in a very emotionally satisfying ending were good, even though most of the characters are quite mean and cynical to each other.
The voice actor is very good, but with so many characters to keep straight, I might have preferred if the producer chose multiple narrators or the actor chose to make a slight change in vocal style for each. But I know that can backfire if the actor overdoes the accents (such as with “People of the Book”).
A plus: The audio version helped me overcome the idiosyncratic lack of punctuation and standard sentence structure in the print and Kindle version, although I periodically went back to the Kindle version to consider that structure and why the author may have chosen it.

Too. Many. Characters. Hard to follow
Okay. I get what she was trying to do. We are all connected somehow. Liked the social commentary on gender and race for sure. However, she has wayyyyy too many characters and doesn’t finish off connections which makes it hard to follow and you disconnect. Couldn’t even enjoy the ending cuz I couldn’t remember everything. If you read this, take notes of who is who along the way.

The best novel you will listen to this year
This was exceptional. I was transfixed throughout the whole book and wanted it to keep going and going and hear more stories about these women. The writing is just wonderful and the interlacing stories are captivating. It thoroughly deserved to win the Booker Prize and I will come back and re-listen to this again in the future. My dog got some extra long walks as I just wanted to keep listening. I have read or listened to 53 books so far this year and this is the best of them all.

This book is a stream of consciousness cross-section through the many layers of British life illustrating how despite our differences in economy, sexuality, geography and class we all ebb and flow against and within each other's lives. Fantastic! Loved London, the political tensions, the growth of these characters through the generations. So riviting.

What is this book even about?
I couldn’t get into this at all. Life is too short to waste on this.
I tried. I really did. I couldn’t find an arc anywhere. The characters were boring. The plot never materialized. Everyone was a brat AND uninteresting. I found myself annoyed whenever I listened. Throwing in the towel today.
