Manifesto: On Never Giving Up by Bernardine Evaristo
5.0
I watched the interview with the author by Jackie Kay for the Manchester Literature Festival in November. My reaction then of this interview was "wow". I was in awe of Bernardine Evaristo and wanted to wait a little while before reading her Manifesto so I could appreciate it.
Manifesto on never giving up is the author's powerful and engaging account of how she got to where she is and to become who she is. She tells her story honestly and with humour and talks about cultural inequalities, love, friendships, belonging, activism/feminism, family interactions...
My reaction after reading the book was just the same as after watching her interview back in November. Wow.
This is such a fascinating read, full of positivity and warmth. A must read.
