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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000915036 586__ $$aBooker Prize, 2019. 000915036 650_0 $$aWomen, Black$$zGreat Britain$$vFiction. 000915036 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xSocial life and customs$$vFiction. 000915036 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2lcgft 000915036 85200 $$bgen$$hPR6055.V25$$iG57$$i2019b 000915036 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:915036$$pGLOBAL_SET 000915036 980__ $$aBIB 000915036 980__ $$aBOOK
