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 that paints a vivid portrait of the state of contemporary Britain and looks back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe twelve central characters of this multi-voiced 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 93-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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSparklingly 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: USA, 2019\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 464\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780802156983\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 0802156983\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bernardine Evaristo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44871062290698,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/Screenshot2023-11-11at16.16.59.png?v=1699718272","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/girl-woman-other-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
