A review by bekkireinig
Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
5.0
Phenomenal.
The writing style is so intruiging. I loved the changes of perspective and people. And even though all were different and each chapter was about three different women, it all was connected. The changes between those women aswell were so smooth. From daughter to mother to friend. Or grandaughter to mother to old relative.
You are emerged into the life of 12 women of color who live in Britain, mainly London, with different background, sexuality, life style and education. The topics are all very sensetive but beautifully written. You feel the struggles the women have gone though. From being a black / coloured girl in a white britain and getting locked at differently. Form having to marry a black, nigerian man because no white man comes into the house. To having to be girly to be a girl and not being able to express yourself.
There are topics of divorce, child pregnancy, rape. All very good explained and brought up, making light of what happens, how you feel in a very respective way.
I was totally emerged in this book, and would highly recommend everyone to read it. Even when its not your usual genre, (it isn't for me). In an age where sexuality,gender and race and so on are so prominantly talked about this is a great book to shead light on all these!
