They`re each looking for something – a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope…”`Girl, Woman, Other` is about struggle, but it is also about love, joy and imagination” Guardian”Masterful… A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain” Elle”Exceptional. Ambitious, flowing and all-encompassing, an offbeat narrative that`ll leave your mind in an invigorated whirl… [It] unites poetry, social history, women`s voices and beyond. You have to order it right now” Stylist”Bernardine Evaristo can take any story from any time and turn it into something vibrating with life” Ali Smith
