"Girl, Woman, Other is a celebration of the diversity of Black British experience. Moving, hopeful, and inventive, this extraordinary novel is a vivid portrait of the state of contemporary Britain and the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean. The 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, works hard to earn a degree from Oxford and becomes an 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. Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centering voices we often see othered, and written in an innovative and fast-moving form that borrows from poetry, Girl, Woman, Other is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that reminds us of everything that connects us to our neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart"--… (más)

The style of a different character being the focus of each chapter is not one I’m a big fan of generally, but other than that this book has a lot going for it - well written with a style just unusual enough to be interesting, empathy for all its characters, telling the story of black British women through several generations, engaging contemporary questions of gender and sexuality in a compelling way. I even misted up a bit on that touching last page, which was unexpected! ( )

Delicioso.
Tudo o que quer saber sobre o universo feminino homossexual do mundo artístico de Londres.
A escrita é totalmente inovadora. Mas cativante. Entramos na cabeça da autora. Muito bom.
O racismo, o machismo e a luta pela sobrevivência estão sempre nas imensas histórias que Bernardine nos conta de forma magistral.
Não surpreende ter vencido o Booker prize em 2019.

Extraordinary. Will let it settle but this could well be my book of the year....one that practically vibrates with energy, character and humanity. The absence of conventional punctuation might have seemed pretentious in other hands but Bernardine Evaristo isn’t any old pair of hands. Her choices allow the language to flow like poetry...instead, the spaces speak. Her collection of sometimes loosely, sometimes tightly intertwined stories, told from viewpoints along the spectrum of race, time, and gender, are revealed with simultaneous economy and richness. Beautiful, uncomfortable, shattering, wonderful. ( )

I really liked the symphony of voices and stories, and pieces of a mosaic slowly coming together. Every story made you see the characters that you already got to know in a slightly different light. It was an interesting shift in perspectives that I enjoyed following. This is also a book it is difficult to be "free" of, I am still hearing all the voices in my head. A great read and a well-deserved Booker. ( )

Amma

is walking along the promenade of the waterway that bisects her city, a few early morning barges cruise slowly by

to her left is the nautical-themed footbridge with its deck-like walkway and sailing mast pylons

to her right is the bend in the river as it heads east past Waterloo Bridge towards the dome of St Paul's

she feels the sun begin to rise, the air still breezy before the city clogs up with heat and fumes

a violinist plays something suitably uplifting further along the promenade

Amma's play, The Last Amazon of Dahomey, opens at the National tonight

when they leave uni it's gonna be with a huge debt and crazy competitions for jobs and the outrageous rental prices out there mean that her generation will have to move back home forever, which will lead to even more of them despairing of the future and what with the plant about to go shit with the United Kingdom soon to be disunited from Europe which itself is hurtling down the reactionary road and making fascism fashionable again and it's so crazy that the disgusting perma-tanned biliionaire has set a new intellectual and moral low by being president of America and basically it all means that the older generation has ruined everything and her generation is dooooooomed
this metal-haired wild creature from the bush with the piercingly feral eyes
is her mother
this is she
this is her
who cares about her colour? why on earth did Penelope ever think it mattered
a mouth that holds all her misery like a drawstring tightened around a pouch
