Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine EvaristoTeeming with life and crackling with energy a love song to modern Britain and black womanhoodGirl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years. Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever dynamic

as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy

the possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance with colonialism stacking the odds

and with space for readers to write down their thoughts

Then twenty-eight years later an old baptismal card falling out of a book changed the course of her life forever

Now all he has to do is play the country cop and walk the dogs

Following the style of the best-selling All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome and All Dogs Have ADHD

the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale

Her early life was spent roaming the Gulf Country on foot

where we are invited to contemplate what we have learned about ourselves

moved by strong rhythms and a remarkable freedom with language

From spring and through a year in his home patch in Northern Ireland

The Love Hypothesis was on the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists in January 2022
