520    From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, 
       Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the 
       intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story 
       of an interconnected group of Black British women. Winner 
       of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon 
       Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of 
       the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back 
       to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and 
       the Caribbean. The twelve central characters of this 
       multivoiced novel lead vastly different lives: Amma is a 
       newly acclaimed playwright whose work often explores her 
       Black lesbian identity; her old friend Shirley is a 
       teacher, jaded after decades of work in London's funding-
       deprived schools; Carole, one of Shirley's former students,
       is a successful investment banker; Carole's mother Bummi 
       works as a cleaner and worries about her daughter's lack 
       of rootedness despite her obvious achievements. From a 
       nonbinary social media influencer to a ninety-three-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. Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, 
       centering voices we often see othered, and written in an 
       innovative fast-moving form that borrows technique from 
       poetry, Girl, Woman, Other 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 neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be 
       split apart. "A choral love song to black womanhood." 
       "Evaristo has a gift for appraising the lives of her 
       characters with sympathy and grace while gently skewering 
       some of their pretensions." "The actress Anna-Maria 
       Nabirye projects the characters superbly: she has a full, 
       low timbre and a powerful directness." "A breathtaking 
       symphony of black women's voices, a clear-eyed survey of 
       contemporary challenges that's nevertheless wonderfully 
       life-affirming." "Narrator Anna-Maria Nabirye's warm, 
       rhythmic voice embraces listeners from the first rush of 
       words…Nabirye grabs a proverbial hand and pulls you onto 
       the merry-go-round of personalities and stories. Funny, 
       sad, gripping, thought-provoking stories told with pacing 
       and characterizations you'll long remember. Winner of the 
       AudioFile Earphones Award." "The intermingling stories of 
       generations of black British women told in a gloriously 
       rich and readable free verse will surely be seen as a 
       landmark in British fiction." "The voices of black women 
       come to the fore in a swirl of interrelated stories that 
       cover the past century of British life. Wide-ranging, 
       witty, and wise." "A sparkling new novel of interconnected
       stories…If you want to understand modern-day Britain, this
       is the writer to read." "Brims with vitality…She captures
       the shared experience that make us, as she puts it in her 
       dedication, 'members of the human family.'" "Nuanced and 
       entertaining…Told from the point of view of twelve 
       British women of color-all just a few degrees of 
       separation apart from each other." "Readers…will be 
       entertained, educated, and riveted." "Evaristo beguiles 
       with her exceptional depictions of a range of experiences 
       of black British women…A stunning powerhouse of vibrant 
       characters and heartbreaks." "As she creates a space for 
       immigrants and the children of immigrants to tell their 
       stories, Evaristo explores a range of topics both 
       contemporary and timeless. There is room for everyone to 
       find a home in this extraordinary novel. Beautiful and 
       necessary." "An impressive, fierce novel about the lives 
       of black British families, their struggles, pains, 
       laughter, longings, and loves…Her style is passionate, 
       razor-sharp, brimming with energy and humor."
