I enjoyed this a lot! I did struggle to remember how some of the characters fitted/linked to the play or Amma, but overall it was fascinating to see such a diverse range of stories together.

Everyone was very dislikable. I liked the first 3/4 of the book, but then it started to feel like a tick-box exercise.
I really, really enjoyed reading this book! It's funny, passionate, and gripping. I warmed to even the less likable characters, because Evaristo has the gift of showing people as complex human beings, not as stereotypes or as good vs. bad. A worthy Booker winner!
