Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize, 'Girl, Woman, Other' by Bernardine Evaristo, takes us through the lives of twelve female characters in Great Britain. From Newcastle to Cornwall, the novel explores their personal journeys over a century, their struggles, hopes, and the search for identity, belonging, and love. With an innovative literary style that merges poetry and prose, Evaristo creates a fluid and accessible narrative that challenges literary conventions and offers a unique perspective on the female experience and diversity in contemporary British society.
