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.
'A daring evocation of black British history... Sexy, punchy [and] fresh' Independent on Sunday on The Emperor's Babe

一星给booker prize,一星给这本书。这本书真的看得我感觉自己要被无聊死了。里面的角色非常的stereotypical。有些地方我希望她不要那样去描述,因为那样的stereotype已经太多了,结果她就又那样去描述了。人物虽然多,但是很少有人有一个清晰的脸。感觉发生在这些人身上的事排列组合一下也不会有任何违和感。
评分看到了两个句号。

评分很特别的写作方式,每章之间看似没有关系但又通过主人公联系在一起。第一次看英国的少数族裔的故事,读到了很多曾经当做理所当然或者被忽视的细节。但是从morgan的故事开始就好多女性主义说教的内容,不是很自然,人物也确实太多了一点。
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。
