Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

5.0

---

Absolute masterpiece- interconnected stories of 12 British Black women in modern times, reflecting varied experiences and points of view. Character development in a compact space is very strong, The language is beautiful and evocative, compelling. The audiobook is highly recommended with a great narrator, but the text is laid out in unusual rhythms and stanzas so recommend consuming both the audio and print books. A lot to dig into in these stories, now that I finished i want to start again at the beginning.
