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
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The winner of this year's Booker Prize is fun to read, but I also feel it is not very original in both form and content. The book wasn't that well-written and probably needs some polishing. I was almost fed up with the nagging of the author, but again that could be because I was hurrying.
评分Too many characters but the writing style is just sublime
