***WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019***

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019

'At turns funny and sad, tender and true, this book deserves to win awards' Red

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.
