Girl, Woman, Other - Customer Review


During these unusual times we have been working hard to stay in touch with the members of our shared reading groups to find out what they've been reading.  Some have put down their thoughts as reviews that we'd like to share.  Here's Doreen with her opinion of 'Girl, Woman, Other' by Bernadine Evaristo.

Yn ystod y cyfnod anarferol yma rydym wedi bod yn gweithio’n galed i aros mewn cysylltiad ag aelodau o’n grwpiau darllen i ganfod beth maen nhw wedi bod yn ei ddarllen.  Mae rhai wedi rhannu’u barn ar ffurf adolygiadau ac fe hoffem rannu’r rhain.  Dyma Doreen gyda’i barn am  'Girl, Woman, Other' gan Bernadine Evaristo.

'Girl, Woman, Other' by Bernardine Evaristo is a worthy winner of the Booker prize,  which she shared with Margaret Attwood . Interestingly she writes with no full stops. In the book we meet many diverse, colourful characters, who are linked in different ways. The story covers various issues of gender,  race and class. It leads to a satisfying conclusion but some may ask what happened next. I think this book can be enjoyed by any age and not necessarily just by women.
