Girl, Woman, Other

This is Britain as you`ve never read it. This is Britain as it has never been told. From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the twentieth century to the teens of the twenty-first, Girl, Woman, Other follows a cast of twelve characters on their personal journeys through this country and the last hundred years. They`re each looking for something - a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope . . . `Masterful . . . A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain` Elle `Exceptional. Ambitious, flowing and all-encompassing, an offbeat narrative that`ll leave your mind in an invigorated whirl... [It] unites poetry, social history, women`s voices and beyond. You have to order it right now` Stylist `Bernardine Evaristo can take any story from any time and turn it into something vibrating with life` Ali Smith, author of How to be both `Sparkling, inventive` Sunday Times `Funny, sad, tender and true, deserves to win awards` Red `Brims with vitality` Financial Times SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019
