Teeming with life and crackling with energy - a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood
Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years.
Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
'A daring evocation of black British history... Sexy, punchy [and] fresh' Independent on Sunday on The Emperor's Babe
Industry Reviews
Weaves through time and space with crackling originality * Vogue *
Exuberant, bursting at the seams in delightful ways... Evaristo continues to expand and enhance our literary canon. If you want to understand modern day Britain, this is the writer to read * New Statesman *
An exceptional book that unites poetry, social history, women's voices and beyond. Order it right now * Stylist *
Evaristo's prose hums with life as characters seem to step off the page fully formed. At turns funny and sad, tender and true, this book deserves to win awards * Red *
Brims with vitality * FT *
With this rich composition, Evaristo deserves a toast * Literary Review *
Masterful... A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain * Elle *
'Girl, Woman, Other is about struggle, but it is also about love, joy and imagination. * Guardian *
Threads together the diverse life stories of 12 black British women in ways that deliberately resist categorisation * Metro *
Such a satisfying read, funny and true, the characters are so real you feel you know them already -- Miranda Sawyer via Twitter
A warm, humorous and ambitious novel, and one that is enjoyably playful in style. It is both a product of its time and unlike any book ever written about Britain * Economist *
My favorite book of 2019 . . . the most absorbing book I read all year. This novel is a master class in storytelling. It is absolutely unforgettable. When I turned the final page, I felt the ache of having to leave the world Evaristo created but I also felt the excitement of getting to read the book all over again. It should have won the Booker alone. It deserves all the awards and then some. -- Roxanne Gay
