Girl, Woman, Other

Summary

The novel follows twelve mostly Black British women across generations, from a playwright opening her debut at the National Theatre to a non-binary social-media influencer and an elderly Northumbrian farmer. Evaristo's flowing 'fusion fiction' style dispenses with most full stops and conventional punctuation, letting interlinked monologues speak across class, sexuality, and history. The book offers a panoramic, tender map of contemporary British lives.
