What Members Thought
A well deserved winner of the Booker Prize.
Perhaps my favorite thing about Girl, Woman, Other is how Bernardine Evaristo gives a unique voice and perspective to the twelve subjects. Hearing that the story focuses almost entirely women who are black and British, I worried that the author would push a particular perspective or agenda. Certainly, in these interconnected stories, there's bound to be some overlap, but Evaristo really presents a wide spectrum, giving substance to each and every voice ...more

5/5 Book Review: Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo
Closing words… that sums up this book…
this is not about feeling something or about speaking words
this is about being
together.
“Wow!” Those were the words I said aloud to myself as I finished this book. This contemporary literary fiction work of art makes me cogitate on my life and the relationships I’ve had with the women in my family, the women I call friends, and the women who I just know… who have all been apart of my molding and sha ...more

I am a longer of the long form novel. To spending 1000 pages in one character's life. Warning, this is not that kind of book, but oh how I am loving this book for what it actually is, and about 3/4 of the way though and want to spend more time with all of the characters!!!

loosely interconnected lives of women throughout britain
i fell hard for this book. i loved every word. by the epilogue, i felt like i knew these women. every intereaction had MEANING.

I have been trying to read books representing people with different experiences than I'm accustomed to. This book explores the experiences of a wide-ranging loosely knit collection made up mostly of black women in Britain. It is a wonderful polyphonic novel.
I'm also interested in genealogy and loved the way characters connected at the end. I won't say more about that for fear of potentially spoiling it for others.
If you are at all interested in explorations in race, gender, or sexuality, you rea ...more
