Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters most of them black British women, moving through the world in different decades and learning how to be. Each character has a chapter; within the chapters, their lives overlap, but their experiences, backgrounds, and choices could not be more different. The interconnected stories of a group of these women of different generations, faiths, classes, politics, and heritages, and a few men too, raise timeless questions about feminism and race. Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
