‘Girl, Woman, Other’ by Bernardine Evaristo

Ciervo Blanco Book Club organizes a book discussion in English about the novel ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ by Bernardine Evaristo

This is a free book discussion in English, organized at not cost for the attendees. The only requirement is to read the book!

About the novel

Teeming with life and crackling with energy.

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.

About the author

Bernardine Evaristo is the Anglo-Nigerian award-winning author of several books of fiction and verse fiction that explore aspects of the African diaspora: past, present, real, imagined. Her novel Girl, Woman, Other won the Booker Prize in 2019. Her writing also spans short fiction, reviews, essays, drama and writing for BBC radio. She is Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel University, London, and Vice Chair of the Royal Society of Literature. She was made an MBE in 2009.
