Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

4.0

---

I loved the intertwined nature of these stories, which were all unique in how they gave us a glimpse of the characters' lived experiences. The ending was incredibly fulfilling and I'd love to see this as a TV series too! There's substantial intellectual commentary in here on race, feminism, queer identity, etc. and I learned a lot from this book. Apart from covering poignant subject matter, the stories also felt incredibly relatable and accessible. Bernardine Evaristo is an absolute force and I can't wait to read more of her work.
