A review by andrew61
Girl, Woman, Other, by Bernardine Evaristo
4.0
This is my second read of what is a remarkable and unique book which I picked up again for my physical (now zoom) reading group. In the time since my lst review the world seems to have gone mad and the black woman , trans gender life experience in a white privileged society has been at the forefront of the news.
The author has written a book which allows the reader to step into the world of 12 different individuals whose lives are diverse and fascinating and cover the black experience from the early 20th century up to today. I'd entirely recommend this easy to read book for anyone who fails to recognise the benefits of a diverse society, although I guess those people probably would baulk at the idea of immersing themselves those lives in the first place.
