This is Britain as you've never heard it.
This is Britain as it has never been told.
From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the 20th century to the teens of the 21st, Girl, Woman, Other follows a cast of 12 characters on their personal journeys through this country and the last hundred years. They're each looking for something - a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope....

"The actress Anna-Maria Nabirye projects the characters superbly: she has a full, low timbre and a powerful directness." (The Times)
"Masterful...A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain." (Elle)
"Ambitious, flowing and all-encompassing, an offbeat narrative that'll leave your mind in an invigorated whirl...[It] unites poetry, social history, women's voices and beyond." (Stylist)
A thing of beauty...

characters were all unique and well written. a very enjoyable read, but it felt at times a bit like a catalogue of diversity... like the author had a list and must have one each of all the current intersectional feminist issues represented, like a collection of dolls. I'm really grateful for the perspectives, but it felt a bit unnatural because it seemed to be trying to be an anthology of everything black and feminist and lgbti+ in one book. Really good story teller. Really good coverage of the issues at s surface level, but I probably would prefer a deeper dive into their stories. I think this could have been a series, and could have been a bit more realistic at the end about how much people really change when challenged.
great perspective, bit catalogue of diversity

Great novel - flaws in narration.

The premise is a good one and I liked some of the characters but absolutely nothing happens in this book. It is just about ordinary women and their ordinary struggles. I like a plot, I like a beginning middle and a satisfying end. This had nothing.
Nothing happens!

I did read this in another review, but unfortunately the Narrator needs more practice to articulate what she is reading.
She has an appropriate voice and accents for the content, but lacks sufficient skill, which results in a story you just can't follow.
I could follow the Narrator. Unfortunately.
