Teeming with life and crackling with energy - a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood
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.

看到了两个句号。
评分关于了一群非裔女人的故事 每个篇章呈现一段人生 跨越时代和阶层 叙述她们的被边缘化和自我实现 带着对自己的失望和自信的口吻。很喜欢这种人物之间或近或远的联系 并且通过视角的改变呈现出人物的不同折射面 模仿诗歌的小说写作(断句)使整本书读起来很轻快。好久没买过这种毛边的书了 触感真好。
评分非常简单的一个个视角、小故事串联起来,但真是写到心里去了。最喜欢的是奶奶们、清洁工们、古板的老教师们、非洲妈妈们,把往往是背景的人们翻出来写,满满的社会理论但比任何理论书都敲打人心。当然核心是the politics, our politics, feminism at its becoming,与生存、生活、爱和对幸福的追求交织
评分可以给到四星半 书中每一个人物都有人生如戏的潜质 关于女权婚姻性别种族这些主题的内涵很丰富 惊叹于作者怎么能在这么多年龄与背景的女性人物视角间切换自如 看了才知道能上观海同志书单和每隔十页一表白不无关系哈哈!
评分在读到关于Bernardine的采访时知道她独特的写作方式,这才提起好奇心跟着布克奖的阅读高峰读完了这本书。年代下关于性别,性取向以及相关身份的写作探讨十分丰富,但是更让我打动的是Bernardine在采访里也说到的,不仅仅是在描述这些或者是捍卫这些,更多的是将这些女性都作为完整的人来叙述,拥有无限且丰富拓展可能性的各个人生。的确是交错着的,错误和经历,冲动或者背叛,人生的常见破碎之下最终每个故事都顺着它们的道路缓慢走去,就像是双目失明的盲人,却仍然被月光照亮了前路,所有的人。女人,或者,女/男人。
