Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years.
Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
A very special book. So constantly touching, funny, varied and personal. Each chapter and segment feels like essential reading for whoever occupies or operates within the worlds of that person. A constant reminder of strength in empathy!
