Teeming with life and crackling with energy – a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood

‘There is an astonishing uniqueness to all Bernardine Evaristo’s writing, but especially in Girl, Woman, Other. How she can speak through twelve different people and give them each such distinct and vibrant voices… I loved it. So much’ Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

‘Hilarious, heartbreaking & honest. Generations of women and the people they have loved and unloved – the complexities of race, sex, gender, politics, friendship, love, fear and regret. The complications of success, the difficulties of intimacy. I truly haven’t enjoyed reading a book in so long’ – Warsan Shire

‘Didn’t think I could love a Bernardine Evaristo novel more than The Emperor’s Babe but with Girl, Woman, Other she might just have outdone herself’ Diana Evans, author of Ordinary People

‘Bernardine Evaristo can take any story from any time and turn it into something vibrating with life’ Ali Smith, author of How to be both

‘Bernardine Evaristo is one of those writers who should be read by everyone, everywhere. Her tales marry down-to-earth characters with engrossing story lines about identity, and the UK of today’ Elif Shafak
