Post election Saturday night with a book - bliss. And my first recommendation in a long time. The brilliance of ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ tempted me to read @BernardineEvari earlier work. This one is confirming my view that she is one of our most compelling contemporary writers. – source2021-01-19T16:45:15.000Z
@rubyornotruby THE BOOK OF V by Anna Solomon. VERY different but very interesting: A BEAUTIFUL CRIME by Christopher Bollen. GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER by Bernardine Evaristo. – source2020-12-08T13:41:08.000Z
Enjoyed listening to the audio book of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER @BernardineEvari especially when Carole chooses her favourite number 1729, the smallest number = sum of two cubes in two different ways 1^3+12^3 and 9^3+10^3 (although I think the narrator said 2 rather than 12 cubed) – source2020-06-11T08:06:27.000Z

Second book is already an early favorite. Easy to see why it won all the awards—fascinating characters with different voices. – source
