We're kicking off 2021 properly with the CWR Book Group, reading Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. Do join us to discuss it on Tuesday 5th January 2021 at 7:30pm!
"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."
It's a tremendous book, with luminous semi-experimental prose and vivid plot that culminates in a satisfying and absolutely cracking conclusion.
