Girl, woman, other

Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize.

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
