aebarlas5 's review for:
Girl, Woman, Other
by Bernardine Evaristo
The writing style of this story read to me like prose. It started and ended with a play in London, with the attendees’ stories made meaningful at the end. I felt I was learning so much throughout, including British history, blackness, queerness and theatre. 12 different women seems like a lot to keep up with within one story, but the author kept hold of the complexity by weaving their lives together. This provided perspectives that only became clear once one stopped telling their story and they were revisited within someone else’s story.
