Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo |
I thoroughly enjoyed the vivid storytelling mostly about the lives of some black women, spanning a century to contemporary Britain. The protagonists have different social and cultural backgrounds but despite the struggles, including those of race and feminism, much feels positive with a sense of supportive togetherness. There is the joy and laughter of shared time and memories. However, I still find the plural pronoun used for a single binary individual cumbersome. (Not a large feature thankfully).
