THE SUNDAY TIMES 1# BESTSELLER & BOOKER PRIZE WINNER
RECIPIENT OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION AWARD
*One of Goodreads Most Popular Books of the Past Decade*
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 . . .
'The most absorbing book I read all year' Roxane Gay
'[Bernardine Evaristo] is one of the very best that we have' Nikesh Shukla
'Beautifully interwoven stories of identity, race, womanhood, and the realities of modern Britain. The characters are so vivid, the writing is beautiful and it brims with humanity' Nicola Sturgeon
'A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain' Elle
'Bernardine Evaristo can take any story from any time and turn it into something vibrating with life' Ali Smith
'Exceptional. You have to order it right now' Stylist

“gender is one of the biggest lies of our civilization”
I always choose a quote as title for my reviews, to give the fellow readers a first short impression of the book - with "Girl Woman Other" the task of deciding which one to take took me quite a while, since the novel has so many quote-worthy sentences. Reading Evaristo feels like reading a poem, the text has almost no punctuation marks or capital letters which makes it both interesting to read and one can loose oneself in the story from the very beginning. We follow twelve very different women through their daily lives, all of them being connected to each other in varying depth but above all have one thing in common: they are perceived as female, which is the root cause for many disparate kinds of challenges. Yet this book is not only about what it means to be viewed as a woman in todays society, but covers many more issues like (White/economical) privilege, racism, religion, migration etc. Rightfully so, it was awarded the Booker Prize in 2019. “as if she was the kind of woman who'd amputate her aspirations to become one of his decorative appendages”
