With vivid originality, irrepressible wit and sly wisdom,&nbsp;Bernardine Evaristo&nbsp;presents a gloriously new kind of history for this old country.&nbsp;Teeming with life and crackling with energy - a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood.Welcome to Britain and twelve very different people - mostly women, mostly black - who call it home. Teeming with life and crackling with energy, Girl, Woman, Other follows them across the miles and down the years, through different generations and social classes, in this ever-dynamic, ever-expanding and utterly irresistible novel of our times.&nbsp; From a nonbinary social media influencer to a 93-year-old woman living on a farm in Northern England, these unforgettable characters also intersect in shared aspects of their identities, from age to race to sexuality to class.&nbsp; Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centring voices we often see othered and written in an innovative fast-moving form that borrows technique from poetry,&nbsp;Girl, Woman, Other&nbsp;is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that shows a side of Britain we rarely see, one that reminds us of all that connects us to our neighbours, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart."A must-read about modern Britain and womanhood.
