Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

5.0

I learned, I laughed, I cried, I celebrated. Girl, Woman, Other is the unique story of 12 Black British women. It’s multigenerational, multicultural, and essentially void of punctuation propelled only by line breaks. Each chapter focuses on each woman’s life, reading a bit like separate short stories while also perfectly intertwining the characters. This is one of the best takes on womanhood and female existence I’ve ever read. I’m looking forward to reading more of Bernardine Evaristo’s work.
