Summary
THE SUNDAY TIMES 1# BESTSELLER & BOOKER PRIZE WINNER
*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

Reviews
Give [Evaristo] more prizes! All the prizes! It has the pace of a whistle stop tour and yet it seems no detail of the myriad of lives we encounter is missed.
